I wanted to do a post about Compeed. I saw some on here, but they were long, so I thought I'd start a new one.
Compeed! They do not have it in Oregon, or at least I've never seen it. But it is WONDERFUL! Buy it ahead of time and slap it on any hotspots you have on your feet as soon as you notice them, BEFORE they become blisters. It's amazing -- stays on for days -- even in the shower. And keeps you from getting blisters.
We also found these weird little tubes. They were part gauze-like and part jell-like. You cut it and slipped it over your toes to keep them from rubbing together. We got both the Compeed and the tubing at the Pharmacia (look for the GREEN CROSS) for reasonable prices.
Lastly, the care we got in Trinidad de Arre by the Pharmacist there was incredible. He pulled out a chair, sat joe down, cleaned and dressed his wound. Then he only charged us about 4 Euro for the treatment and a tube of antibiotic cream. It was amazing!
If you have any problems, just look for the big GREEN CROSS!
