Abstract
In brief Active people often develop friction blisters on their feet. Although such blisters rarely create significant medical problems, they can be quite painful and can hinder athletic performance. People can decrease the chance of blister formation by wearing properly fitting shoes, doubling up on socks, and applying dressings or lubricants. If lesions do develop, conservative treatment will speed healing and lessen pain and disability.
