Hello, One of the things that you can do to treat a blister when it occurs is the use of Epsom salts. Epsom salts are a natural astringent. Astringents have the power of reducing or shrinking the size of cells and tissue. Therefore, using this principle, you can apply some Epsom salt to the area of the blister or just soak the area in a solution of Epsom salt and water. If by some chance, the blister on the skin has burst, then this becomes an ideal mode for infection to creep in. To avoid this happening, put a bandage over the area and put a drop of tea tree oil on top of the active area of the bandage. If you are not careful with preventing infections and you continue to get a blister by not avoiding friction, then there is a chance that a virus could also move in and cause a wart to occur. This is much more difficult to treat as warts are caused by a virus. Regards,
