What causes blisters, and how can they be treated quickly? - #14623
I recently developed a blister on my foot after wearing new shoes for a long walk. At first, it was just a small sore spot, but then it filled with fluid, and now it’s painful to touch. I don’t know if I should pop it or leave it alone. What actually causes a blister, and how does the fluid inside help with healing? Should all blisters be treated the same way, or does it depend on the cause? I read that friction, burns, and infections can all cause blisters, but how do you know if one is infected? I also want to know the best way to treat a blister. Should I keep it covered, or let it dry out? Are there natural remedies, like aloe vera or turmeric, that can help it heal faster? If anyone has had a blister before, what worked best for healing? Also, how can I prevent blisters in the future, especially from shoes or workouts?
