To protect your blister from becoming infected, apply a Compeed blister plaster to cover it while it heals. A hydrocolloid plaster like this can protect the blister, help reduce pain and speed up healing. Once you get a blister, action should be taken immediately to minimise the pain and maximize recovery. After gently and carefully cleaning the area, apply a waterproof blister plaster to cushion the blister and protect it from harmful bacteria and dirt. Try to avoid wearing anything that puts pressure or friction on the wound. Never deliberately burst a blister but if it does open, clean it with mild soapy water, soak it in a salt water footbath for 10 minutes and apply a fresh blister patch. Once the pain is under control you can get back on track with your goals.

Most blisters are tender and painful, some more than others, but there are a few signs to look for to see if the wound has got infected. Before treating your blister, wash your hands with warm water and soap to avoid introducing any bacteria to the wound. Inspect the area around the blister for signs of warmth, swelling, foul smells, pus, pain, holes or peeling skin. Seek medical attention if you feel your blister is badly infected (for example, if you see some pus in your blister). While the right hiking boot can go a long way to preventing blisters in the first place, it’s best to have an anti-blister kit on hand to treat them if they do develop. This includes specialist blister plasters, absorbent material e.g. gauze and disinfectant. In most cases it is best not to pop a blister, but when hiking, most hikers prefer to pop and drain it themselves under controlled conditions, rather than risk it bursting inside their sweaty, dirty sock.
