Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a blister develop?
Blisters often appear in areas where the skin is exposed to pressure and friction over a long period of time, e.g. during sports or when wearing new shoes. Pressure and friction cause the upper layer of the skin (the epidermis) to move back and forth over the underlying layer. A space forms between both skin layers, fluid seeps into the space and a blister is formed.
2. What can I do to prevent blisters and sore spots?
Sore spots are a common problem often caused by tight or ill-fitting shoes and can develop on any part of the foot. They are caused by pressure and friction and can lead to painful blisters or corns. To protect feet against sore spots, friction or pressure and to prevent the development of a blister we recommend Hansaplast Foot Expert Anti Blister Gel and Hansaplast Foot Expert Pressure Stop.
3. What is so special about Hansaplast Foot Expert Anti Blister Gel?
Hansaplast Foot Expert Anti Blister Gel smoothes the skin, reduces friction from shoes immediately and thus protects effectively and long lasting from blistering and pressure stops.
4. When and how should I apply the Hansaplast Foot Expert Anti Blister Gel?
Thoroughly clean and dry blister prone area. Apply a thin layer of Hansaplast Foot Expert Anti Blister Gel onto this area before putting on your shoes. Do not apply on broken and injured skin. Walking barefoot with gel below your feet can lead to slipping.
