Blister Treatment

Blister treatment for running in Trainers

Treating and preventing blisters on feet is very important to people who participate in or are looking to restart a fitness programme or sport.

Foot blisters can be prevented by reducing the cause of friction on the feet, selecting good quality footwear and socks can go along way to helping, along with gradually building the intensity in your chosen sport.

As many people know you shouldn’t burst blisters! The fluid acts as a barrier to stop infection and aid healing. This is especially important for diabetics as the risk of infection is usually higher in the lower limbs. Blister treatment can involve the use of anti friction blister plasters.
