What would cause our son to blister very easily after doing sit ups on his lower back and jumping jacks feet?
There are a few things that can be done to prevent or reduce the risk of blisters:
- Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing made of breathable materials.
- Change your clothes promptly if they become damp.
- Apply a lubricant, such as petroleum jelly or a sports cream, to areas of skin that are prone to blisters, e.g. heels and balls of feet.
- Use padded socks or insoles to reduce friction.
- Take breaks during exercise and avoid overexertion.
If blisters do occur, it is important to treat them promptly to prevent infection. Clean the blisters with soap and water, apply a bandage, and avoid picking or popping them. If the blisters are large, painful, or infected, it is important to seek medical attention.
