Blisters & sore spots

A night out on high heels or a day of shopping are great pleasure. Unfortunately activities like this can cause blisters - don't let them ruin your fun.

Prevention

• Buy shoes that are comfortable and fit properly.

• Feet tend to swell during the day so it’s better to buy new shoes in the afternoon or evening.

• Let your feet breathe during the day. Choose materials that are flexible and breathe, such as leather or nylon mesh.

• Take an extra pair of socks and shoes with you.

Treatment

• Never open a blister, the blister skin roof protects against infection.

• If the blister opens accidentally, don’t remove the outer skin layer. Use a special blister plaster to protect against dirt and bacteria.

• Blister plasters are designed to reduce pain and help blisters heal faster.

• Only change the blister plaster when it peels off by itself. This will give the blister a little time to heal in peace.
