While blisters can occur most anywhere there’s friction against the skin, they are commonly associated with the feet.

To help prevent foot blisters, the American Academy of Dermatology suggests:

• Wear socks that absorb moisture.
• Make sure your shoes fit properly.
• Wear moisture-absorbing, loose- fitting clothing. Avoid clothing made from cotton, which can lead to friction and chafing.
• Apply soft bandages, such as those made from moleskin, to protect problem areas on the feet.
• Apply powder or petroleum jelly to reduce friction.
• Stop the current activity right away if you have foot pain or discomfort.
