Blisters at the feet, what remedies are there
The blisters mostly arise due to the rubbing of a part of the skin to the footwear that is worn.
This occurs especially in summer
This occurs especially in summer when wearing open shoes or when the foot sweats for the heat.
So where the rubbing took place there is a protuberance, a sort of bubble full of liquid that will reabsorbing itself within a few days; If by chance the bubble broke out, a crust will be created that will disappear within a week.
However, once the bladder appears, the remedies or rather the procedure to be carried out is this to drain the liquid and to heal first:
- disinfect the bladder
- Use a disposable syringe and practice one or more holes on the sides of the bladder or bubble
- With a gauze, make a slight pressure on the bladder or bubble until the liquid escapes and the bubble is glued to the skin
- disinfect again and cover everything with a protective gauze to be attached with a tape patch or with a tubular gauze at the net
- The skin that formed the roof of the bubble will remain as a natural dressing for about 3 days; subsequently it can be removed. You can medicate the skin below with a healing ointment and in this way you will also be sure that the bladder does not infected.
You can do it for prevent the appearance of the blisters, For example by wearing shoes that do not force the foot, that are not too tight or too wide.
If you wear closed shoes, always use socks (better not in cotton that wet with sweat and favor the appearance of the blisters) but more padded.
Use patterns or other aids (stick, vaseline and so on) that can avoid rubbing and friction.
