Blisters

Relief and Prevention for Blisters

Protecting Your Feet from Painful Friction and Pressure

Blisters are small, fluid-filled pockets that form when friction, heat, or pressure irritates the skin — a common issue for athletes, active individuals, or anyone wearing ill-fitting shoes. While they may seem minor, blisters can be painful and, if not properly cared for, may lead to infection or more serious complications, especially for diabetic patients.

At Heartland Podiatry, we provide expert evaluation and care for all types of blisters, from simple friction blisters to those caused by burns, allergies, or underlying medical conditions. Our team determines the best course of treatment based on the location and severity of your blister, ensuring proper healing and pain relief.

Treatment options may include gentle drainage (when appropriate), sterile dressings, and protective padding to reduce pressure and prevent infection. We’ll also recommend footwear adjustments, moisture-control socks, and preventive techniques to minimize friction and keep your skin protected during activity.
