Blisters, corns and callouses are common foot problems that occur during running and sports. Marathon runners are especially susceptible to blisters. Blisters form when there is friction against the surface of the foot, usually the heel or the ball of the foot. Prolonged friction causes a shearing force between the layers of skin which results in the accumulation of fluid or blood known as a blister. Blisters can be incredibly painful and can adversely affect sporting performance. Once a blister occurs treatment from a podiatrist or chiropodist can be helpful.
It is important that blisters are kept clean to avoid infection. Blister plasters are useful to aid healing and relieve the pain caused by further friction. Blister prevention is preferable. Blister prevention socks such as the 1000 Mile brand have a double layer that reduces friction on the surface of the foot. When used with a lubricant such as an anti blister stick then the risk of suffering blisters is greatly reduced. Blister prevention is particularly important during pre season training for soccer players when the ground is very hard and new boots are often being worn.
