Blisters
Blisters are fluid-filled sacs that form on the skin as a result of friction, pressure, or irritation. While most people can manage blisters on their own, more serious cases may require intervention from a podiatrist. Blisters are particularly common in children, teenagers, runners, and walkers, due to increased activity levels and prolonged periods of friction against the skin.
In most cases, blisters can be treated at home by keeping the area clean and dry, applying a protective dressing or bandage, and avoiding further irritation. However, if a blister becomes large, painful, or infected, it’s important to seek professional help.
