Blister

[Derek 0]

I got a blister on the side of my foot and it popped today while I was playing hockey. Is it important not to skate until it heals?

Thanks.

Let it heal if possible. If you can't, then put a few pieces of sock tape over the blister before you go to play

Pick up some Band-aid Blister Ampoules. Those things are fantastic for blisters.

what about when it comes time to pull off the tape...seems like it would take skin off with it.

Vaseline over the blister, then duct tape, comes off real nice

Have any of you gotten a blister from skates? Will it recur if I don't get that area of the skate punched out?

had my skates punched where I was getting them and its great - no more blisters.

I use a product called body glide, as my skates still don't quite fit me properly and I don't have $800 for custom skates at the moment.

Runners use it to prevent chafing and blisters, works like a charm for those pressure points while skating. If you've got a Running Room, or even a Sportchek around somewhere, they have it.

For now, I'd get a blister bandage.

Band aid also makes a product that helps prevent blisters by "lubing up" pressure points. Not sure if it is cheaper or as effective as the stuff you get at running specific stores, but it is another preventative option.

It might be old school in comparison to today's newer options but moleskin worked wonders for me.

I tried it a couple times but it never worked for me.
