Abstract des Autors

Friction blisters are a common annoyance for virtually all active patients at every level - from weekend warriors to professional athletes. Whereas small friction blisters are usually self-limited and amenable to conservative treatment, larger ones generally respond better when they are first aseptically drained. Proper care of the blister site will ward off infection, a possible complication of both spontaneous rupture and therapeutic draining. Properly fitted shoes, socks, and athletic equipment, together with the judicious use of lubricants, can help prevent the formation of friction blisters. Verf.-Referat
