Should I move the skin off?

I got a blister on Sunday afternoon (Wednesday night now) and the skin that peeled off is still in tact. It’s been covering the wound and I can see underneath it’s still raw. Should I move the skin off?

It is also starting to raise slightly like a lump, does that mean it’s infected? I’ve been keeping it wrapped in antiseptic bandaids, wearing socks and doing salt warm water soaks for 15 mins a day.

I did a post a few days ago when it was fresh. Should I see a chemist?

How do I heal this?

I wore skates that didn’t fit and a rubbed a good few layers of skin off, although it feels like I rubbed all the layers off… the wound is wet and very raw (and hurts a lot)

I’ve been washing with warm water and wet paper towel and put a bit of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) and betadine on it. Should I be putting Vaseline on it? It’s pretty raw. I can’t wash it in the shower it hurts too much.

I’m a little scared
