Blisters
These fluid-filled bubbles of skin result from damage to the skin. They are often caused by friction, for example by walking long distances with unsuitable shoes or thin socks. However, they may also result from burns or as part of a skin disease such as eczema or an infection like chickenpox. Most blisters are best left alone. If one is ready to burst you can carefully puncture it with a sterilized needle and let the fluid drain away.
Dietary Advice To Avoid Blisters
No dietary measures are needÂed for blisters caused by injury. For blisters due to infection or allergy, eat a healthy diet plus oily fish three times a week.
Complimentary Natural Remedies For Blisters
Cover the blister with a dressing sprinkled with 2 drops of pure lavender essential oil. This also helps punctured blisters, but bathe them first in salty water thoroughly to reduce risk of infection. Rub tea tree cream into the area to help prevent infection in a burst blister. Calendula cream or aloe vera can help the skin to heal.
