Blisters
Although the most common type of blister is the one caused by the shoe rubbing on the skin, there are other, more serious varieties. Blisters can form anywhere on the body due to an allergy, or viral or bacterial infection. For blisters cause by burns, see Burns and Sunburn.
Signs and Symptoms
- raised, thin skin filled with fluid, redness surrounding
sore if pressed
Blisters on the Feet
Blisters form as a protection to stop damage to tissue. They gradually clear up by themselves overtime.
If the skin is not broken apply a drop of the following neat essential oils: lavender or lemon
Recycle those old tea bags! Put 1 drop of geranium on a wet tea bag (black or green tea) and hold it over the blister.
If your child plays a lot of sports or is always wearing sport shoes and has repeated trouble with blisters, it may be worth toughening up their feet.
Mix the following together well and soak the feet for ten minutes at least once a week.
1 bowl of cold tea, 1 tablespoon Epsom salts, 1 drop myrrh essential oil diluted in 1 drop iodine.
Blisters on the body
Blisters on the body are a sign of infection or another problem that requires medical help. In the meantime , to help reduce the inflammation and pain, make up the hydrolat mix below, put in a new and clean plant mister and spray over the affected area, equal parts lavender, camomile and rose hydrolat
3 drops camomile roman and 3 drops eucalyptus radiata, shake well before use.
Essential Oils That help
Tea tree, lavender, lemon, Camomile Roman, Calendula, (infused or absolute).
Other care
Always leave the blister as it is; and never try to get the fluid out while the skin underneath is in the process of healing leave the blistered area uncovered as much as possible so it has a chance to dry out and heal.
When to Get Help
Always consult a doctor if there are blisters on the body, if the child has a fever, or has blisters due to an allergy or from taking medication. Also, get further help if the blisters become infected, or have increased redness around the outer edges, or there is swelling.
Prevention
- Wear shoes that fit properly
- Wear socks with sport shoes and closed leather shoes.
- At first sign of redness protect heels or sore patches of the foot with blister dressing or Band-Aids.
