Small Effective Remedies To Treat Blisters Naturally.
Hikes, repeated jogging, shoes that are too small ...
It's unstoppable: ugly blisters are appearing on our feet.
Some are really painful, even downright disabling. It is better to treat them as soon as possible.
For that, we don't necessarily need a battery of overpriced bandages, but just a few very useful and inexpensive tips.
Don't worry: these grandma's remedies are simple, effective, and economical. Look :
1. Let the blister heal on its own
- If the blister you have does not make you suffer when you walk.
- If you do not don't repeat the next day the activity that gave you this scheming villain.
- If you can wear other shoes or stay barefoot ...
So the best is still to do nothing.
No need to go and buy special dressings at the pharmacy, or even put on adhesive tape or Scotch which would inadvertently tear off your blister. Don't do anything.
Just protect it with a cotton sock when you have to go out and leave it in the open the rest of the time. She will go away on her own.
On the other hand, if you see that it is piercing, consider disinfecting it.
2. Pierce the bulb
If your blister is large, disabling, very painful, or if you plan to continue a hiking activity or a sport the following days, in this case it will be necessary treat her.
I advise you first of all pierce it.
How to do
1. Sterilize a needle, either with 90 ° alcohol or by boiling it.
If you have nothing else on hand, burn the needle with a lighter for several seconds.
2. Insert the needle very carefully, preferably on one side rather than at the center, so that the liquid flows completely.
3. Remember to keep the skin that will serve as natural dressing, rather than pulling it out, which is also quite painful.
4. Now disinfect and monitor.
It is an effective grandmother's remedy for treating a blister on the foot. And that's the best way to dry a bulb quickly.
3. Disinfect an ampoule inexpensively
Of course, if you go to a pharmacy, we will advise you on expensive products and special dressings.
I have three other little tips that work just as well:
1st remedy:
- Take an onion from which you remove the small thin skin that is between the slices.
- Apply it on your ampoule, maintaining it with a classic bandage. If the bulb is really very big, you can put some gauze on it with a band-aid.
- Do this morning and night.
As the onion is a natural wound healing agent, there is no risk of infection.
2nd remedy:
If you wish, you can alternate with aloe vera gel which heals and softens at the same time, as well as Biafine for example.
3rd remedy:
If you prefer, disinfect your bulb with white vinegar. It is a disinfectant that I recommend because it is a really inexpensive natural antiseptic.
Apply it twice a dayalso. If you don't have to go out, there's no need to put on a bandage.
Above all, do not put anything tights Where who adheres on the wound caused by the opening of the blister.
Wash yourself off naturally with soap and warm water. Born do not rub the wound by drying yourself off, but still pat as best you can.
Bonus tip: prevention is better than cure
- If you buy new shoes for an occasion (baptism, wedding ...), I understand that you do not want to soil them before D-day. Nevertheless, you can wear them at home a few weeks before, in order to "do" them without damaging them.
Remove them as soon as you feel a friction. And if they stay too much small, you can try Heilanie's excellent trick to expand them.
- When you do hike, if your feet are painful, remove your shoes as soon as possible.
When your feet start to be hot or humid, do not hesitate to refresh them and let them air dry.
If you have no choice but to keep walking, put right away a bandage on the painful part.
Choose your shoes and socks carefully (shoes for walking and long socks in cotton, to your size).
If you have been loaned shoes, wear them a few days beforehand if possible. If they are a little too wide, put two pairs of cotton socks.
Here is. You are ready to do pretty hikes or go to wedding of your cousin Astrid without any problem !
