Blisters are different, and treating them the same way often leads to more pain, slower healing, and higher infection risk.
There are 5 stages of blister management:
1️⃣ No blister – prevention starts with a plan.
2️⃣ Hot-spot – the warning sign. Stop and act immediately.
3️⃣ Roof intact – protect it, the blister roof keeps germs out.
4️⃣ Roof torn – infection risk is high, so dress and monitor carefully.
5️⃣ Deroofed – painful, slow to heal, and needs the right environment.
Each stage needs a different approach, and knowing the difference can completely change outcomes for anyone prone to blisters.
