Specifically, common areas include Back of the heel Instep and foot arch Mixed The mixed pack contains 3 medium and 2 small blister plasters. How to apply blister plasters It is important to apply blister plasters properly to get the best outcomes: Clean the area Wash with water or wipe clean to remove dirt/sweat. Use an antibacterial wipe or sterile wound wipe to clean the area if the skin is broken. Then dry the area completely. This is important! Don’t burst the blister (if possible) Intact skin will heal faster and have a lower infection risk. Only drain with a sterile needle (if you know what you’re doing). Choose the right size plaster It should fully cover the blister with a margin around it. Avoid stretching it to fit. Peel off the backing without touching the pad and place directly over the blister. Smooth down edges firmly, avoiding wrinkles or air bubbles. Leave it in place Don’t keep removing it. If done properly, it may stay on for several days and will often turn white (normal). Let it come off naturally and replace only when it starts to peel away. Pro tips for using blister plasters Warm the plaster in your hands or another warm, dry body area. This helps it stick better for longer, activating the adhesive. Apply at the first sign of a hot spot, not after it fully forms. Preventing blisters is always the best cure. For high-friction areas (heel, toes), apply zinc oxide tape over the top. High-quality 3.8 mm or 2.5 mm tan tape is perfect. Also, consider anti-blister socks from 1000Mile.co.uk. Change your socks regularly if walking or trekking, especially if you get wet feet. Wet feet will cause blisters much more quickly and shorten the life of a blister plaster.
