Symptoms of a heel blister

The blister itself is the main symptom. But, indeed, there are some indications that could warn us, before it’s too late. If you feel intense pressure and friction on your heel, with some visible redness and irritation, or even some painful discomfort during every step, the formation of a blister has already begun.

Redness and skin irritation.
Painful sensation at the point of friction and pressure.

Causes of a heel blister

The appearance of a blister on your heel is part of your body’s natural defense mechanism to protect the spot from pressure and friction. Your body sends fluid to the injured area, to fill the wound, and to cover the lower and sensitive layers. Thus, the blister itself is a combination of irritation and inflammation, causing pain, swelling and redness.The external causes that can lead to this injury are many. Some of the most common are the wrong type of shoes, or even more often the combination of new shoes and no socks. The condition can also be aggravated by dry skin, higher temperatures, humidity caused by intense sweating on the foot, and repetitive or unusually heavy strain.

Preventing blisters

The best way to prevent blisters is by protecting the most sensitive areas of foot. Gel cylinders, tubes and caps are your first choice for your toes’ protection. At the same time, make sure to reduce the pressure and friction with the appropriate anatomical insole. In addition, if you have a bunion or metatarsal condition, then a special pad will reduce the risks of friction and pressure at the spot and prevent the problem. Finally, do not forget that increased humidity also plays a key role. Therefore, antiperspirant protection can also help you effectively.

Health Tips

Choose comfortable shoes

A blister could be seen before its painful symptoms. A shoe that will bother you from the first moment you wear it, is almost certain to trigger it.

Act quickly

Even if you do not have a hydrocolloid patch with you, remove the shoe and sock as soon as possible, lift the leg and place some ice, well wrapped in a towel, to reduce inflammation. But, remember not to put too much pressure.

Keep the area dry and clean

Normal skin moisture level will help in healing, while hygiene will protect you from any possible infection.

Do not pop the blister

By popping the blister, you will create an open wound, which will slow the healing process, while increasing the chances of infection.
