Protect yourself before and after blistering. I have found the best products to use are those with gel pads which provide moist healing for the blister and keep out the air and germs. These can be used to prevent blister-prone areas from blistering as well as after a blister develops. These are not cheap, but the relief is worth the price.
1. Band-Aid Advanced Healing Bandages
Similar Band-Aid products are sold as Blister Block bandages. Find them in the foot care section of the supermarket rather than the bandage section. They adhere for days and provide excellent protection to blisters once they have formed. They come in large and small sizes. You can use them over potential blister spots to prevent blisters or cover up blisters that have formed.2. Dr. Scholls Cuslin Blister Treatment
Like the Band-Aid product, use to either prevent or treat blisters. Sterile membrane bandages prevent wounds from drying out while protecting them from dirt and germs. Waterproof and stays in place for up to seven days. Comes in large and small sizes.3. Dr. Scholls Moleskin and Molefoam
Moleskin is a cotton flannel patch on an adhesive backing. You can cut it to fit the area you wish to protect. This is commonly used to protect areas prone to blistering, but can also be used after a blister develops. Molefoam is similar but thicker.
4. Spenco 2nd Skin Blister Pads
The Spenco® 2nd Skin® blister pad is a gel pad bordered by a thin film designed to keep blisters from drying out and protect them from further abrasion. Adheres strongly to stay in place for days. Absorbs perspiration and helps promote a scab-free, naturally-healed blister.5. Spyroflex Skin Savers and Blister Dressing
Use to either prevent or treat blisters. Sterile membrane bandages prevent wounds from drying out while protecting them from dirt and germs. Waterproof and stays in place for up to seven days. Flexible and moves with you.6. Blist-o-Ban
Blist-o-bans sort of imitate a blister. They have their own cushioned blister area to go over where you are more likely to blister. Then when the rubbing occurs, it occurs in the Blist-o-ban and not on your skin.
