Identifying blisters by appearance and symptom:

• A collection of fluid found between the outer and inner layers of the skin.
• Fluid is a result of leakage from blood vessels beneath the skin after minor damage.
• Blister provides valuable protection to the damaged tissue.

Cause

• Most commonly caused by rubbing from repetitive shear forces and are quite often the result of wearing ill-fitting shoes or improper footwear for an activity.
• Can also appear as a result of infections, burns, skin diseases and insect bites

Treatment

Initially taking a break from an activity or changing the footwear which is causing the blister may help. Sometimes wearing 2 pairs of socks will relieve friction. However wearing socks either too loose or too tight can also aggravate the problem.

If you have blisters on your feet, friction may be the culprit. Walking or standing for several hours a day puts pressure on the heels, soles, and toes. fluid-filled bubbles result from poorly fitted shoes. Shoes that fit too tightly or too loosely can rub against the skin. This causes friction, and as a result, fluid builds up underneath the upper layer of skin. Excessive moisture or perspiration can also trigger these skin bubbles. This is common during warm seasons among athletes, particularly runners. Tiny blisters form when sweat clogs the pores in the feet. Feet blisters can also develop after a sunburn.
