Blisters
Blisters often heal on their own within a week. They can be painful while they heal, but you will not usually need to see a GP.
How you can treat a blister yourself
There are things you can do to protect a blister and help stop it getting infected.
Do
keep the blister as clean as possible – gently wash the skin and pat it dry
cover blisters with a soft plaster or padded dressing
wash your hands before touching a burst blister
allow the fluid in a burst blister to drain before covering it with a plaster or dressing
Don’t
do not burst a blister yourself
do not peel the skin off a burst blister
do not pick at the edges of the remaining skin
do not wear the shoes or use the equipment that caused your blister until it heals
A pharmacist can help with blisters
To protect your blister from becoming infected, a pharmacist can recommend a plaster or dressing to cover it while it heals.
A hydrocolloid dressing (a moist dressing) can protect the blister, help reduce pain and speed up healing.
