HOW TO TREAT A BLISTER

We often get blisters when we wear shoes that are either of the wrong size for our feet or that has too much friction with our skin. The size of our feet can contract or expand according to weather and temperature. That explains why prior fitting of the shoes we bought in the store doesnt give a hundred percent guarantee that it would fit just nice when we wear it out on the road. Thus it is perhaps inevitable that we would almost definitely suffer from blisters when we wear a new pair of shoes unless the shoe material is of high quality and our feet are not expanded due to too much walking. To treat a blister: 1)Make a small puncture with a sterile needle at the base of the blister at a 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position. Leave the skin of the blister on so that it can still continue to protect the skin. 2)Use a gloved finger, or a piece of clean or sterile gauze to gently remove the fluid. 3)Apply a small amount of antibiotic lotion to a piece of gauze and cover the wound. Avoid drying products such as alcohol. TIP: Prevention is always better than cure. There are sterile plasters that conform and stick ( even throughout hectic activities) to blister-proof your feet. They can also double up to protect broken blisters at the same time.
