OUCH Blisters - Son has them from wet feet and summer camp

[bigsis1970]

Hi Everyone -- I need a good blister remedy for one who already has them .. My son 7 came back from camping with his Dad and has the worst blisters from going sockless in wet sneakers !! and now he is going to summer camp this week and running around with his new friends they just must- hurt like Heck !!! he has them on the tops of his toes and he has 2 on each heel (one inside and outside of each heel ) I have bandaids on the heel ones with some neosporin (sp?) he said that bandaids bug his toes so they just have the cream then his socks then his sneakers tied fairly tightly so his foot won't move around too much inside -- should i be doing more then that and he has a note to the councelors that states he NEEDS his sock and shoes tied fairly tightly except for swimming time . Thanks for any help you guys have such good advice here ... Michelle

ouch - sounds like it hurts
sorry I dont have any advice - Id keep them covered even if the bandaids bug his toes (but I know that can be a battle)
Good luck

My son is an Eagle Scout and they always take moleskin along on hikes and campouts.

Bandaids makes a bandaid just for blisters. It attaches to you like a second skin and it doesn't fall off like the regular bandaids do. They are waterproof too. I used them at WDW and they worked great!

I second the Band-aid blister block (or whatever it's called). It's kindof expensive but so worth it. My son runs and occ. gets blisters. This stuff works and does not come off.

Great I will look for that type of Bandaid
As for the moleskin i have some of that but didn't want to stick it to the wound . I figured that would hurt more ..
Thanks again for the help! Michelle
