Introduction What are blisters? How are they formed? How do I avoid Blisters? What if I get one?

What Are Blisters? Blisters are fluid-filled pockets that look like bumps on the skin They occur at sites of combined pressure and friction, and may be enhanced by heat and moisture

How Are They Formed? Blisters are caused by friction from shoes or clothing which rubs repeatedly on the skin causing friction burns As the outer layer of skin separates from the inner layers, the space between fills with lymph fluid

Blisters ARE ARE a common problem for athletes wearing new shoes ARE ARE common with athletes or walkers who take part in exceptionally long events, such as marathons or long hilly walks (hikes) DONOT DO NOT have to be part of a sporting life, ANDCAN AND CAN be prevented

How Do I Avoid Blisters? 1. Ensure that shoes & boots fit properly 2.Choose socks with soft wicking fabric such as coolmax – avoid cotton which absorbs moisture and can have rough texture. 3. Use a blister blocking product. Protect potential hot spots by applying a “2 nd skin”, and/or taping

How Do I Avoid Blisters? 4.Keep your feet as dry as possible. Wet shoes/boots & socks, cause blisters far quicker than dry ones 5.When possible, change socks regularly/often 6. Using powder along with the right sock can really help

At the First Sign of a Blister: 1.The first sign will be redness on the skin 2. Apply a 2 nd skin dressing or Blister Plaster 3. Ensure your feet are dry, and wear clean socks

Foot Blister Treatment: 4.Do not burst a blister unless it is large and you must. If you do puncture it, use a sterilized needle, and watch for infection 5.Drain the fluid but leave the skin 6. Do not drain a blood-filled blister

Foot Blister Treatment: 7.Clean the blister with a sterilizing wipe 8.Cover the wound with a 2 nd skin or blister plaster 9.Take your time and apply it correctly 10. Apply tape over the top for extra security

Take Care of Your Feet And they will take care of you!
