Blisters are often seen as a minor issue and not be given much thought. However, they can cause great irritation and pain to parts of the foot and if left untreated may cause different walking habits to be adopted to avoid the painful pressure on a blister, possibly leading to compensatory injuries elsewhere in the body. Blisters usually occur due to excessive friction on parts of the foot or in areas where we excessively weight bear during walking or running. Sweating during sport or in hot weather conditions can also increase the likelihood of blisters as can wearing predominantly cotton socks, as when the cotton gets wet it will cause increased friction against your skin.
In order to prevent blisters or protect blisters that are already present, our Compeed blister plasters can off protection from further rubbing.
Reskin patches, anti-blister lubrication and gel padding are all effective in reducing friction during activities and preventing the formation of blisters in the first place. Self adhesive blister plasters provide instant blister relief by preventing further friction. Blister plasters are available in a range of sizes to be effective on blisters of different sizes. By sealing out dirt and bacteria to prevent infection, blister plasters create a perfect environment for blister healing, with some containing special ingredients that provide soothing relief. You may apply the blister plaster before your activity, for the prevention of blisters, or to relieve friction on a blister that has already formed. Blister plasters usually stay in place for several days to provide protection, reduce foot pain and aid healing.
Blister Plasters & Healing Product Range
Blisters form best in hot, moist conditions. Blister prevention socks have an inner layer made from a fibre that wicks away perspiration to the moisture absorbing outer layer, keeping the feet dry. This combination of fibres and movement of moisture maintains a comfortable temperature for the foot. In addition, the inner layer of the sock stays with the foot, whilst the outer layer moves with the shoe, thus eliminating friction on the skin and reducing wear. These special features of blister prevention socks help to keep the foot dry and blister free.
Blister prevention is important in all sports, particularly running and football, where the footwear and activities can lead to blisters on the feet. Blisters are common in running and other sports. Blisters form due to friction against the skin on the feet, most often at the ball of the foot and the heel regions. Blister prevention is always preferable to blister treatment. But if you do have to treat, PhysioRoom.com have you covered!

Twisting, turning and increased lateral force with greater pressure will often cause problems to the sole of the foot which is why these blister plasters offer instant pain-relief combined with enhanced healing properties. Developed from hydrocolloid technology, these patches adhere securely to the base of the foot. This forms a second skin, that helps to protect open wounds from infection and bacteria. Specially formulated Compeed plasters will absorb moisture, therefore keeping the damaged area clean and hygienic while also remaining fixed in place for up to several days.To learn more about the Compeed Underfoot Blister Plaster click here!
