TREATMENT

Proper Foot Blister Treatment

If your patient asks “What’s the best way to treat a blister”, what do you tell them? In tailoring your treatment plan, or providing the best advice, there are a few messages you need to get across.

Consider:

• Prioritise infection prevention
• Applying the appropriate dressing according to the integrity of the blister roof
• Implement prevention during treatment so shear distortions are minimised to reduce pain and promote faster healing

To ward off friction blisters, it's critical to grasp their underlying cause. Only then can you provide the best preventive advice. Here are the key contributing factors:
