5 tips for treating blisters with fluid
Salt remedy
Narrow shoes can adversely affect our feet, especially if we wear them for a longer period of time. When it comes to liquid blisters, many of us make the mistake of breaking them as soon as we take off our shoes.
Why isn’t it good to do that? Because fluid blisters can become infected. If when you take off your shoes you find that the heel area has become inflamed and a blister has formed, do the following:
- Fill a basin with hot water, add salt (5 tablespoons to 5 liters of water) and immerse your feet.
- It may hurt at first, but after a while you will feel better.
- Relax for 15-20 minutes.
- Then wipe your feet carefully and examine the blisters once more. If they are too big and you can’t wear them anymore, you have to drain them. Do this using an alcohol sterilized needle. In general, it is better not to press them. They will heal faster and you will not risk getting infected.
