Blisters are a very common thing that we all experience on our feet.
These are mainly formed on the feet because of the continuous friction between the skin and shoe.
This continuous friction results into friction burns which we refer to as blisters.
It is a small inflammation between the upper layer of the skin and the lower layer where there is an accumulation of lymph fluid.
These are very painful and generate a burning sensation as long as something rubs against them.
This is mostly seen in people who have to wear shoes for a longer period of time.
Blisters are easily preventable let us look at the symptoms and treatments.
Here are the symptoms: a)Skin of the foot reddens and this is generally seen at the back of the heel and toes.
b)Burning sensation on the affected area c)At times infection is seen on the sore region So what are the treatments and preventive measures that one can take for the blisters? a)Proper footwear is a must if you want to reduce the problem.
It has been often seen that the ill fitting shoes are the reasons behind the painful blisters.
b)It is imperative that you take care of the hygiene of your foot.
Change socks at regular intervals, so that there is no chance of the bacteria or sweat accumulating in your feet.
c)You can use a taping or a second skin to stop the formation on the hot spots.
If your blister has taken the shape of a big sore then it is better that you use a well sterilized needle to prick the blister and help out the fluid that is stored inside.
You should never drill hole or prick a blister that is blood filled because then you can cause more damage than good and can give rise to ugly infections.
