Blisters are a kind of bubbles that are filled with body fluid, blood or water part of your body called serum. They are usually circle shaped and might occur due to friction, rubbing or extreme temperatures. Blisters can grow into bad medical conditions so we need to treat them. Here are some home treatments for blisters.
• Let it breathe
Doctors suggest that keeping the blister uncovered in a clean environment will heal it quickly. Remove bandages from the blister when you are at home so that the blister can breathe and dry up. To prevent further infection apply antibacterial ointment on it.
• Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has antibacterial properties, so soaking your blister in warm water mixed with apple cider vinegar will treat it. If you don’t want to dip it then pour some ACV on cotton and dab it on the blister.
• Toothpaste
Apply colgate on your blister to reduce the pain.
• Tea tea oil ointment
Use a tea tree oil ointment on your blister as it is an astringent so will dry out the blister.
• Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera is a natural anti-inflammatory so it helps in relieving redness and swelling. Plus it’s very hydrating as well. Apply Aloe Vera Gel on your blister to heal it.
• Green tea
Green tea consists of anti-inflammatory properties that promote healing. First, dip some tea bags in boiling water, allow it to cool and soak your blister in it.
If the blister becomes red or expands in size, or if there is discolored discharge, see your doctor for treatment.
