One woman reported second-degree burns to her foot after taking off her shoes to get home from work.
After blisters come out of your shoes On Monday, 23-year-old Mahima D’Cunha, from Bournemouth, Dorest, walked barefoot for just two minutes on her way home from work.
But as temperatures rose to 27 degrees during the heatwave in the UK, Mahima’s bare soles soon began to burn on the hot pavement, preventing her from walking properly.
What should have taken Mahima five minutes to get home took 50 minutes instead.
When Mahima finally staggered back home, she quickly ran her feet under the cold tap before NHS 111 told her to go to the emergency room.
Mahima D’Cunha, 23, from Bournemouth, Dorest, said she suffered burns to her feet while walking barefoot for just two minutes on her way home from work.
Mahina thought it wouldn’t hurt to take off your shoes to walk barefoot after blistering.
Mahima’s feet are dressed in the emergency room and have to change the bandages on the burns every day until the wounds heal.
In the emergency room, nurses treated Mahima’s burns and asked her to come back the next day.
Gas and air were then given to relieve pain while NHS staff cleaned the large blisters that had developed on the soles of their feet.
Now Mahima has to change the bandages on her burns every day until her wounds heal.
A video on TikTok shows Mahima walking home barefoot before suddenly sitting on the pavement and being unable to move.
Developed large blisters that extend almost to the sole of the foot
After just two minutes of walking on the hot pavement, Mahima had to stop because her soles were on fire.
The images then show soles developing large blisters that extend almost as wide as their feet.
A small clip shows Mahima being transported to the emergency room in a wheelchair before being photographed lying on a hospital bed with her feet completely wrapped in white bandages.
Additional footage shows the large blisters on Mahima’s feet, in a recent video showing him breathing in gas and air to try to relieve the pain.
Mahima posted the video on TikTok yesterday, writing: “I decided to go home barefoot for two minutes.
Mahinma took gas and air at the hospital to ease the pain of her burnt feet
“Two minutes later I could no longer walk.
“Yeah, don’t go barefoot.”
The post has now garnered more than 68,000 views, with thousands of likes and dozens of comments from users who responded with mixed reactions.
“And people are walking their dogs in this heat, I hope you’re okay,” said one person.
Another wrote: “Sometimes I feel very spontaneous, but it’s even worse when it backfires.”
Mahima’s bandaged feet: he had to return to the hospital the next day to change his bandage.
A third commented: “Did two minutes really do that much damage?”
A fourth added: “Sister is getting better fast!”
The last one replied: ‘I hope you are well.’
“I was out of the house in the morning to attend the workout at work, I was wearing the shoes I wore before, and when I came to work I had blisters on each foot from the shoes I wore before and when,” Mahima said. I went to work because of the shoes I had water balls on every foot.
When he got home, large blisters formed on Mahima, despite running his feet under the cold water.
“I covered them with patches all day but they kept rubbing their shoes and they kept bleeding and stinging.
“When I leave work after seven, I get fed up with them and live only a five-minute walk from home, so I decided to go home barefoot to avoid getting hurt.
“After two minutes of walking, the soles of my feet literally burned and I sat on the pavement to watch and I was so numb and physically unable to walk.
“I tried putting my shoes back on but my skin literally felt like bubble wrap.
“The return home, which should have been a five-minute walk, turned into a 50-minute walk with my feet on the sides.
“When I got home, I ran it under cold running water for 15 minutes and watched.
“I then decided to use 111’s online reporting service and they advised me to go to A&E minors, which is where I went.
“When I went, a nurse examined and dressed them and told me to come for the evaluation the next day, so I did and now I dress them every day until they are healed.
“I was at work all day, so I had no idea how hot it was outside.”
