Blisters on the feet

Foot blisters are small, fluid-filled sacs that form on the skin. These blisters can vary in size and occur for a variety of reasons. They may develop after a skin burn, a fungal or bacterial infection, an insect bite, or trauma.

Depending on the location of the foot blisters , they can interfere with normal daily tasks. For example, if a person has one or more blisters on their feet , they may have difficulty walking, exercising, or standing for long periods of time.

Foot blisters develop in all types of people and at all ages. Fortunately, several treatments can relieve discomfort and reduce the risk of foot blisters forming again.

Causes

If a person suffers from foot blisters , friction may be the culprit. Walking or standing for several hours a day puts pressure on the heels, soles, and toes. The more time you spend on your feet during the day, the greater the risk of foot blisters forming.

Of course, not everyone who walks or stands for long periods of time develops foot blisters . In many cases, these blisters are caused by wearing shoes that don't fit properly. Shoes that are too tight or too loose can rub against the skin. The resulting friction causes fluid to accumulate beneath the top layer of skin.

Excessive moisture or perspiration can also cause foot blisters . This is common during hot weather, especially among athletes, even amateurs. Small foot blisters form when sweat clogs the pores of the feet.

Foot blisters can also appear after a sunburn. Other possible causes of foot blisters include:

  • freezing
  • allergic reaction
  • chemical exposure (cosmetics or detergents)
  • fungal infections
  • chickenpox
  • bacterial infections
  • herpes
  • dyshidrotic eczema

Home treatments for foot blisters

You may be tempted to pick or pop foot blisters . But foot blisters should be left intact, because if they open, they can become infected. Covering foot blisters with an adhesive bandage can help protect them while they heal.
