How do I treat blisters?

Blisters generally heal on their own within a few days. You can do a few things at home to make them more comfortable:

• Wash the area gently with a mild soap.
• Apply antibacterial cream or ointment.
• Cover the blister with a bandage or gauze.

Be sure to change the bandage at least once a day. And resist the temptation to pop or break a blister or peel it off. The skin on the blister protects deeper layers of skin from infection.
