I bought some Compeed blisters, and they do not
work good at all. They are supposed to heal
the wound and stay in the wound, but that doesn´t
seem to be the case. I have the wound in my
foot (in the toe) and in the "heel" (where the shoes
usually rub) . I have problems to explain these words en english, so if you
will excuse me.
I am upset about this since most people say
these kind of blisters (compeed particularly)
are very good. In my case I really really put
on the blister GOOD and pressed it for a long time against my foot, yet in
10 hours it does not
hold at the foot, and is removed and also it gets
attached to my socks. The worst thing is that
the Compeeds REALLY do not ease the pain
of my foot rubbing against my shoe when Im walking. This is not only in the
"heel" but also
in my toe . Also it´s weird that these blisters
are so expensive. The main problem is : they
are too THIN to ease the rubbing. Ok, I´d like some comments on this. Also
I´d like info about some medical newsgroup where I should post this
information/experience I have. Thanx. |

I am not familiar with the Compeed product you are talking about, but I
am familiar with blisters. When a shoe causes blisters, you are better
off if you can modify the shoe to free up the area. This often means
cutting the shoe open at that spot. If it's the toe, it is easy to cut
an X over the pressure area.
For the blister itself, I just use tape. |

I've had the same problem many times. I've found that putting on the compeed
first and then some sports tape on top of that usually works. Always
remember to warm up the compeed in your hand (as per the instructions)
before applying it to your blister, this makes it softer and easier to fasten.
HTH!

I've been experiementing with ways of avoiding blisters whilst walking.
Personally, I found that unless the foot is perfectly clean and dry, Compeed
will just not stick. Even when it does, it'll peel off in an hour or two of
vigorous exercise. The best thing I found was Moleskin:
http://www.scholl-footcare.com/uk/footcare/fixing_your_feet/blister.as...R=87&PP
This seems to stick well and can be applied to the blister-prone area before
the blister appears. It also has the benefit of being able to be cut the
exact shape that you want before applting.
However, the other comment I would have is: Why are you getting blisters?.
Are your shoes poorly fitting?. Blisters can be made worse by having wet
sweaty feet. Don't wear cotton socks - get something like the '1000 mile'
socks or the walking coolmax socks from bridgedale. these are really good at
keeping your feet in good condition.

I'd be more concerned about the fact that you are getting blisters. A
good pair of shoes will make a huge differece. I haven't had a blister
caused by running in years.

I've been walking regularly for about 3 years now. Usually between 12
and 20 miles and I've never suffered a blister yet.
I put it down to wearing two pairs of socks. Usually a thin pair over a
pair of normal pair of thicker socks. My feet sweat profusely too.
No fancy varieties either - bought on the cheap from Asda or Tesco usually.
I know this method is nothing new, but it seems to work for me.
Saying that, I do carry a couple of plasters - just in case. >> Stay informed about: Compeed blisters not working good at all |

I agree. More like poorly fitting shoes(to narrow, too small, not real
running shoes, etc) especially if your getting friction in both heel
and toe. Poor socks may be another problem area. Find the cause and
prevent the problem. What kind of shoes and socks are you wearing?
