HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT BLISTERS

HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT BLISTERS

Michael Pardy

***

This article can be very handy for your common blisters that everyone knows and hates. They will give you a step by step of what you have to do.

In this article the author gives you a step-by-step instructions, on how to treat your blisters. The author talks about how you have to reduce friction, keep it warm and dry. After that it tells you what to do for different types of blisters, the author says if it’s a blister with trapped fluid, you should not pop this type of blister as it will just make things worse. If the blister is a broken blister they give you even more in-depth instructions on what to do.

This article was an instructional article, so it didn’t really affect me very much however the next time I get a blister I will know what to do. The one thing the article doesn’t talk about is how to prevent blisters, which I think could be very important, as it would be much easier if you didn’t have to deal with a blister at all, it only talks about after you have the blister.
