Blister Advice

Blisters are fluid filled lesions that develop in response to repeated friction on the skin. Open blisters can be very painful and take several days to heal.

Blisters develop as a result of repeated friction and rubbing, often from tight or ill-fitting shoes.

Blisters can take several days to heal. Treatments focus on protecting the blister from further friction. Apply a COMPEED® plaster to prevent further blistering and provide instant pain relief.

If you’re wearing shoes that make you more prone to blisters, protect your feet from rubbing and friction with COMPEED® Blister Plasters. You can also prevent blisters by wearing two pairs of thin socks when exercising.

Blister plasers turning white indicates that they have absorbed excess fluid which aids healing.

You do not need to burst the blister to use Compeed®. If it does open, clean it with mild soapy water, soak it in a salt water foot bath for 10 minutes and cover with a protective plaster such as COMPEED®.

Yes, COMPEED® plasters are waterproof. Although contact with water may reduce the adhesion, water will only enter through the edges of the patch, not through the outer film. If the adhesion is reduced , remove the plaster carefully by slowly stretching along the skin and replace with a new one.

COMPEED® Blister plasters can be used at the stage when the blister is open, creating a wound. COMPEED® will protect from infection, dirt and water, and creates a moist environment which helps the healing. COMPEED® should be applied after the wound has been cleaned and dried.
