Blisters
The leading cause of foot blisters is friction between the skin and shoes, according to the study “Friction blisters. Pathophysiology, prevention and treatment”, socks, and even the floor. But there are other conditions related to the development of unwanted lesions:
– Autoimmune diseases (where the individual’s immune system ends up attacking its own body in an attempt to defend itself);
– Burns caused by cold or heat.
Usually, those who suffer from blisters on their feet report burning, susceptible affected regions, pain, and redness. In some cases, the blister causes bleeding; if not treated properly, it infects, making it difficult to treat. In that case, the best thing to do is to seek medical help so that the necessary treatments are recommended.
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
There are some primary care and tips to prevent blisters on the feet, such as:
– Use Vaseline-based products or moisturizing creams: they form a kind of barrier and reduce friction between the foot and the sock (or footwear) and, consequently, reduce the chances of blisters forming;
– Wear comfortable shoes: avoid tight shoes or that cause too much friction;
– Use of talcum powder for the feet: by reducing perspiration in the region, friction also decreases;
– Sticking plaster / Adhesive dressings: when there are sensitive points on the feet, protect them with sticking plasters or adhesive dressings.
There are simple ways to ease the discomfort of those who are already suffering from painful blisters, such as:
– If the blister has not yet burst, do not touch the area;
– Protect the affected area with gauze;
– Do not wear closed shoes until the blister heals;
– Never rip or pull the skin from the blister (this can further injure the skin and leave it unprotected, prone to infections).
