{"title":"Treatment and Prevention of Foot Friction Blisters","authors":"F. Brennan","doi":"10.1249/fit.0b013e3182a95110","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1249/fit.0b013e3182a95110","url":null,"abstract":"Treatment and Prevention of Foot Friction Blisters M ost of us whowalk, run, hike, or bike are well aware of the pain and discomfort caused by a simple foot friction blister. These hot spots and eventual blisters can make what was supposed to be an enjoyable workout a miserable hobbling experience. The U.S. military is well aware of the detrimental effects of blisters on mission readiness and complications from what seemed to be a simple foot problem. Blisters have been shown to reduce a soldier’s mobility in the field, lessen his or her concentration, and affect critical decision-making skills (12,17). Complications from blisters including cellulitis, sepsis, and death are reported and occur between 2.5% and 5% in military personnel (2,13). Health and fitness professionals and recreational and elite athletes alike should have basic knowledge of those factors that influence blister formation, how to treat blisters should they occur, and, most importantly, how to prevent them. Foot blisters may be the most common sports injury. The incidence of blisters in marathon runners is 0.2% to 39% (15). During military training, the blister incidence ranges from 5.4% to 69% (8,9,17). During Operation Iraqi Freedom I (OIF I), 33% of deployed military reported friction blisters during their deployment (4). Hikers also experience blisters with an incidence up to 48% (12). Clearly, blisters are a common problem among recreational athletes, elite athletes, and military personnel. A friction blister is caused by frictional shear forces that cause a split or cleavage within the outermost layer or epidermis of the skin. As the forces or number of cycles of friction increase, a blister cleft forms and fills with plasma-like fluid, forming the blister within the epidermis (1,7). Friction blisters only form on those areas of the body where the stratum corneum section of the epidermal layer is quite thick; palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Note that chaffing occurs on other areas of the body where the stratum corneum is relatively thin. For example, friction blisters do not form on our inner thighs where the skin is much thinner. By identifying those factors that most influence blister formation, an athlete may reduce the risk by avoiding them or preparing for them. Common factors include moist damp feet, foot temperature greater than 104-F, emollients like petroleum jelly after an hour of exercise, tobacco use, heavier pack loads, and lack of an ability to train in a shoe (i.e., ‘‘foot harden’’) (11,16). Among women aged 26 to 34 years who had a history of blisters and those soldiers who were not able to ‘‘foot harden’’ before their deployment, the highest risk of blister formation during OIF I was observed (4). The goals of treatment are to minimize pain, limit the size and severity of the blister, prevent complications such as skin infections, and optimize return to full sport/recreational activities. Clinicians have varying opinions about how to treat blist","PeriodicalId":50908,"journal":{"name":"Acsms Health & Fitness Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"45-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1249/fit.0b013e3182a95110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66082347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
