Blisters

apache

I've recently started exercising and have very painful blisters on one foot. I am using Arnica cream and Compeed blister plasters but they don't really help.

They are there about 4 days now and no sign of them healing up. I am frustrated as I can't walk anywhere.

Any tips on how to clear them up and how long roughly does it take?

Try using the extra holes in the trainers if they have them. They are to stop movement friction that causes blistering.

I started exercise walking / running routine end of October last year for weight loss, and was getting blisters until I read up about it. I'd walk around 10k a day and have lost 30kg in 6 months.

Nice one T-Bird. Well done on the weight loss.

As a novice I wasn't too sure but my advice would be to burst them. Mine popped yesterday afternoon and I'm back in the game again. The horrendous pain is gone.

Thanks @apache, I have to admit that I popped mine as well. However, I haven't has any in months now since I did the shoelace system.
