Was out running yesterday and blistered a very sensitive area. Went to shop and decided antiseptic Savlon was the way to go. Applied liberally then had a lie down. Woke up in agony half an hour later. Felt like I’d been shot between my balls and my arse. Turned out antiseptic wasn’t a good plan. Was in tears with pain and missus just laughed at me. 

[Stellaboz 3,477]

How did you blister there?
