Skin irritation due to friction

How to avoid skin irritation & blistering due to excess of friction?

To limit the risk of having skin irritation, we can easily give you hundreds of different advices. It’s not always very easy to find the right solution. Remember that every foot is different and that a perfect solution for your friend is not necessarily the best one for you.

However, there exist some overall tips to avoid skin irritation; of course, it’s always better to take care of it before you start walking or running:

’Prevention is better than cure’
• Use made good shoes which suits you! A good shoe should be adapted to the surface.
• Use as much as possible socks without seams. Seams provokes extra friction and pressure.
 

Apply a soft silicone dressing with ReSkin technology on already weakened spots before you starts walking to limit the risk for skin irritation.

Wear two pair of thin cotton socks with a little powder between them. This too will reduce the friction on the bottom of the feet.
