Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing for Heel, Toe, and Feet Blister Pads

A blister is an area of raised skin with liquid inside. They are your body's clever way of protecting itself from pressure and friction. A high degree of friction tends to cause the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, to separate from the layers beneath causing fluid to fill the space. This is an attempt to cushion the wound beneath from further pressure or friction and to lock out causes of infection.

Blisters can be prevented by taking simple but proper measures to reduce potential sources of friction and pressure. As blisters on the heels and feet are very common, it's important to wear properly fitting shoes. Blisters are more likely to occur in moist conditions, so aim to keep your feet as dry as possible.
