Why CMA Attendees Have Suffered From Blisters

Tuesday, 11 July 2017 00:00

Many country music fans who attended the CMA Fest have been dealing with blisters due to the brand new boots they’ve purchased for the event. Doctors around Nashville have said that the most common problems they've treated at the festival are feet blisters. It is possible to get an infection from ignoring your blisters, so it is important that you treat them immediately. If you suspect that you have a blister, is it crucial that you switch into more comfortable shoes and put on protective gear.

Blisters are prone to making everyday activities extremely uncomfortable. If your feet are hurting, contact Dr. Alan J. Spector of Shore Podiatry. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Foot Blisters

Foot blisters develop as a result of constantly wearing tight or ill-fitting footwear. This happens due to the constant rubbing from the shoe, which can often lead to pain.

What Are Foot Blisters?

A foot blister is a small fluid-filled pocket that forms on the upper-most layer of the skin. Blisters are filled with clear fluid and can lead to blood drainage or pus if the area becomes infected.

How Do Blisters Form?

Blisters on the feet are often the result of constant friction of skin and material, usually by shoe rubbing. Walking in sandals, boots, or shoes that don’t fit properly for long periods of time can result in a blister. Having consistent foot moisture and humidity can easily lead to blister formation.

Prevention & Treatment

It is important to properly care for the affected area in order to prevent infection and ease the pain. Do not lance the blister and use a Band-Aid to provide pain relief. Also, be sure to keep your feet dry and wear proper fitting shoes. If you see blood or pus in a blister, seek assistance from a podiatrist.
