Blisters

A blister is a small pocket of fluid forming in the upper layer of the skin usually on an area of the foot subject to a shearing stress. This often happens within a period of hyperactivity or by wearing ill fitting footwear. The blister is usually filled with a clear fluid called serum which sometimes can include blood (blood blister).

The fluid in blisters will usually be reabsorbed by the body within a few days. If the blister becomes infected pus will be present in which case medical help is advised.

If necessary blisters can be treated and protected by applying a soft dressing (Pedifleece). If required a Prolyne Technogel pressure protection pad will provide a very effective thicker reusable dressing. Attention to footwear is important as the cause of the blister should be identified and removed. If the blister bursts a sterile dressing should be applied. Try not to artificially burst the blister as reabsorbtion of the fluid by the body is usually preferable.
