Blisters On Feet
A blister is a small sac of fluid that can be formed on any area of your body, usually the feet. Blisters on feet may occur due to a skin burn, an infection caused by fungus or bacteria, an insect bite, or trauma. Blisters generally develop on the feet.
How To Treat Blisters?
Here are some effective home remedies that can help you in treating blisters.
#1. Spray A Deodorant
Moisturizing the blisters can worsen the situation, therefore try to keep your feet dry. Deodorant acts as lubricants against your blisters. Try to avoid constant rubbing.
#2. Keep It Safe
Use bandages to reduce friction and protect the blister against any irritating contact. Do not directly apply the bandage on the blister, instead stick the ends together to create a tent like structure, and then place it over the blister. This allows the blister to stay protected, and yet it can breathe. Breathing helps blisters to recover quickly and stay safe from infections.

Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, green tea promotes healing. Brew three green tea bags in boiling water and add a teaspoon of baking soda. Cool the mixture, and then soak in the feet or you can also dip some gauze in the solution and cover your blister with them.
#4. Apply Castor Oil
Castor oil is popular for curing blisters. Apply some castor oil on the affected area before going to bed so that it stays there throughout the night. Mixing some apple cider vinegar to castor oil can quicken the healing process.
