How do I handle painful blisters on my feet?
To treat painful blisters on the feet, first sterilize the area with blisters. If the blisters are not broken, you need to puncture them first and then squeeze out the fluid inside. To prevent infection, use iodophor or alcohol to sterilize the area. If the blisters are caused by fungal infection, apply some antifungal ointment such as Miconazole Nitrate Ointment and wear breathable shoes and socks.
If the blisters on the feet are small, it is best not to break them to avoid infection and aggravating the pain. You can apply a bandage on top to avoid contact with the blisters and relieve the pain. If the blisters are large, they tend to be very painful and inconvenient. In this case, consider draining the fluid inside. First, clean the blistered area with sterile alcohol, then use a sterilized steel needle to puncture a small hole in the blister and gently squeeze out the fluid inside. After using disinfectant or antibacterial spray, wrap it lightly with gauze or a bandage. Be careful not to cut off the skin of the blister, which may increase the risk of infection.
If the blister has already been broken, first sterilize the area and then wrap it with a clean gauze to promote healing and prevent infection.
