What Causes Recurring Blisters On The Toe?

About 3 years ago ,I had a growth (blister?) on one of my toes. A biopsy was taken and it was negative. The spot on my toe got to be very painful, like I was being stabbed. I have this condition reappear twice, one 6 months ago and right now. The oain is hardly bearable even after taking extra strenth Tylenol. I pearced the blister and let it drain after soaking in water. The pain is persistant . I am 85 years of age and in very good health otherwise.

It is possible that the blister is infected with bacteria. You should consult a general surgeon and have a 'culture and sensitivity test' done on a sample from blister. An 'incision and drainage' or an 'excision' may be considered by the surgeon that should relieve you immediately of the symptoms that you are experiencing now.
