Why do my feet get blisters so easily?!


Question: Why do my feet get blisters so easily?
I can't wear most shoes without getting blisters. I even bought a pair of dress sandals that were designed by the company for "extra comfort". I love the look of them, but I can't wear them longer than a few hours without getting a massive blister on the top of my foot.

Same goes for boots. I always have to wear at least two pairs of thick long socks unless I want cuts/blisters all around my ankles. This even happens with ones that have thick furry linings. My mother bought me a really nice pair of designer rain boots, but I can't wear them, even when I have on multiple pairs of socks. They kill my feet, literally!

I have rather large feet for a woman (size 10-10.5), and I'm positive I'm getting the right size. I measure my foot every time at the shoe store to make sure I'm not buying anything too big or too small.

There's a pair of pumps I really want to get, but I'm worried those will tear my feet up as well. Is there a way to prevent this?

Answers:

It is possible that you have a skin allergy. " The possibility of an external cause of dermatitis always must be considered if the dermatitis is linear or sharply defined. The immediate onset of dermatitis following initial exposure to material suggests either a cross-sensitization reaction, prior forgotten exposure to the substance, or nonspecific irritant contact dermatitis provoked by the agent in question."
you might be walking incorrectly or planting your steps in an incorrect timely fashion. The fact that most of the shoes you are wearing provided the same outcome shows that there is a problem with either your feet or the way you use therm.

maybe you should get a size 10.7 or maybe a 11 , because 10 might be fitting perfectly , but its maybe just tight

Home remedies for skin blisters

Castor oil is an effective home remedy for curing blisters naturally. Spread it liberally over them and leave them for sometime. Wash them with warm water and antibacterial soap and pat them gentlyLet them be aired to heal naturally.
Take some raw onion slices and mix 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar with it. Apply it on the blisters and leave it to dry. This natural cure heals the blisters rapidly by rupturing them and draining the liquid on its own.

You can ask your mother to dust her feet regularly with an anti-fungal powder to keep them dry. Cover the blisters with a bandage to avoid the risk of getting hurt during the daytime. Rest the feet and keep them open at night for air circulation.
Apply some anti-fungal cream 2 to 3 times a day.

You can also take a syringe and drain the blister at home. But if you have pain, yellow or green discharge and the blisters are taking a lot of time for healing, visit your doctor for proper treatment. Deep or large lesions may need to be drained surgically by a physician. Never squeeze a boil or attempt to meddle with it at home because this can spread the infection and make it worse.


Apply warm compresses 3 times a day for 20 minutes, until the boil becomes soft. Once opened, the boil will drain pus for 2 or 3 days and then heal. Since the pus is infectious and contagious, the boil must be covered by a large 4 x 4 inch gauze bandage and tape. This bandage should be changed and the area washed with an antiseptic soap 3 times a day.


Some important reminders when you have a draining boil:


Meticulous hygiene is vital to prevent the spread of infection
Draining lesions should be cleaned frequently. The hands should be washed thoroughly after touching a boil
Do not re-use or share towels
Clothing, washcloths, towels, and sheets or other items that contact infected areas should be washed in boiling water
Dressings should be changed frequently and discarded in a proper manner
