Some of the most common causes of foot blisters are:
  • Heat, moisture and friction.
  • Friction forces caused by inappropriate shoes or socks.
  • Fungal infections of the skin.
  • Allergic reactions or burns.
  • Excessive foot perspiration.

Some ways to prevent blisters are:

  • Keep feet as dry as possible.
    • Wearing wet shoes, boots and socks will increase your chance of developing blisters.
  • Change socks regularly.
  • Use foot powder to help keep your feet dry.

Treatments for Foot Blisters

If the blister has not "popped," leave it alone. Most of the time, the blister will reabsorb and heal on its own.
