How do I prevent blisters on my ankles from shoes?
To prevent blisters on your feet, wear nylon or moisture-wicking socks. If wearing one pair of socks doesn’t help, try wearing two pairs to protect your skin. You should also make sure your shoes fit properly. Shoes shouldn’t be too tight or too loose.
Why do my shoes give me blisters on my ankles?
Most blisters form when your skin rubs against your shoes or socks repeatedly over time. The damaged upper layer of skin shears away from the layers beneath and fluid collects in the space to create a firm bubble under the skin – forming the dreaded blister.
How do you treat a blister on your ankle?
Wash your hands and the blister with soap and warm water. Swab the blister with iodine. Clean a sharp needle with rubbing alcohol. Use the needle to prick the blister in several spots near the edge. Apply an ointment such as petroleum jelly to the blister and cover it with a nonstick gauze bandage.
WHAT TO DO IF shoes give you blisters?
Lubricate Your Feet Often Friction—the rubbing motion between the foot, sock, and shoe—creates heat and tearing forces, making the skin prone to blisters. If you reduce the friction, you reduce the blisters. One way to reduce friction is by lubricating your feet, so they slide rather than rub.
