How Do You Heal a Blister on Your Foot Fast?

Blisters are small fluid pockets of clear fluid that form in the superficial skin layers.

If you get a blister, you better leave it alone, as it will heal on its own in a week or so. If the blister is too painful or if its appearance bothers you, you can try the following remedies:

• Cover the blister: Apply a loose bandage over the blister. This will prevent further chafing due to footwear.
• Use padding: You may use soft padding with a donut shape with a hole in the middle. You can place it around the blister, such that the donut overlies the blister. Cover the blister and padding with a bandage. This will prevent the blister from popping open when you are running or walking.
• Draining the blister: Painful blisters over the sole or underneath the toe may need draining. You must sterilize a small needle using rubbing alcohol. Now rub some alcohol over the blister as well and let it dry. Make a small hole at the edge of the blister and gently squeeze out the fluid with the cotton gauze. Wash the blister again with soap and running water and pat dry. Do not remove the skin over the blister as the intact skin is a natural barrier against the dust or germs entering the blister. Apply an antibiotic ointment and cover the area loosely with sterile gauze. Change the bandage daily and whenever it gets dirty or wet. Till the blister heals completely, you must avoid wearing shoes or doing the activity that caused the blister.
