Blisters

When the skin of your foot is subject to rubbing from your shoe or other sources the layers of skin can separate resulting in the formation of a blister.

If a blister is large and painful, Glen Waverley Foot Clinic Podiatrists can assess the blister and it’s causes and treatment may including draining it. They can then dress the wound with a sterile dressing to minimise the risk of infection and cushion the area during the healing process.

We can also provide advice on appropriate footwear to prevent the reoccurrence, or can help with taping methods.  This is great for when you may undertake an endurance sporting event such as the OXFAM Trailwalker walk to help prevent the formation of painful blisters.
