What is a blister?
Blisters are fluid filled lesions that develop in response to repeated friction on the skin. Open blisters can be very painful and take days to heal.

What causes blisters?
Blisters develop as a result of repeated friction and rubbing, often from tight or ill-fitting shoes.

How to Treat Blisters? 
Blisters can take several days to heal. Treatments focus on protecting the blister from further friction. Apply a Compeed plaster to prevent further blistering and provide instant pain relief.

How can I prevent blisters?
If you’re wearing shoes that make you more prone to blisters, protect your feet from rubbing and friction with Compeed Blister Plasters. You can also prevent blisters by wearing two pairs of thin socks when exercising.

Running Blisters

Imagine being on a run. The weather is perfect and you’re feeling great. You may even be able to beat your record this time. But suddenly you feel a small, yet sharp pain on the ball of your foot. You immediately recognise that it’s the beginning of a blister. Maybe your new socks are too thick or maybe your feet are swollen from the heat. All you know is that your run is over. It’s always best to treat the blister as soon as possible to prevent the pain from getting worse.

Blisters in Sport

Sports related blisters form when your foot slides or shifts, causing friction in your shoe while you run or perform other athletic activities. Fluid collects between the irritated layers of skin tissue and swells forming the unsightly bubble. Blisters develop very quickly, can take several days to heal, and if they break open they can become infected, making the pain even worse and further delaying your recovery.

Blisters can affect anyone whether you are an athlete, sporting enthusiast or just on a mission to get fit. Activities like running, hiking, playing football or tennis, climbing mountains or dancing, can all cause blisters to strike on any part of the foot. From the top of the toes (and in between them) to the back of the heel, blisters can stop you in your tracks and nobody needs that.
