My daughter has had a blister on her toe for 2 weeks. What should we do?

Hello,

The creation of a blister is often a normal response by the body to protect itself from excessive friction at the skin level. In doing so, it can sometimes be detrimental to add a bandage to the skin surface, as this further reduces the space required between the skin and the object causing the friction (in this case, potentially a shoe).

I would recommend correcting the cause of the chafing, such as leaving the skin out in the open and changing shoes.

Do not puncture the blister, which could lead to an infection risk. And be aware that almost all blisters heal without the use of medication.

Hopefully I've answered your question!

We look forward to seeing you,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
