People who like to run must have felt their feet blister due to the emergence of lenting feet when running using shoes. Resilient or blisters make the feet feel sore when rubbing against the shoes. So, how to deal with and prevent it from interrupting?
What are the causes of lenting of the feet?
Blisters or resilience of the feet are usually caused by friction, usually between the skin and socks. High moist conditions when wearing shoes because sweating often makes the skin softer.
This then makes the skin prone to blisters and appear resilient. Wearing running shoes that are too small or tied too tight can also make resilient feet easier to occur.
Maybe you have found your feet blister after wearing shoes, before they become blisters, usually the feet are resilient. It's like a liquid bubble filled with skin. This bubble can appear anywhere on your feet.
Most commonly in the most rubbed areas such as the toes, heels, and front of the foot. Some of these bubbles are painless, but some people feel pain, even having to stop running because of illness. Sometimes there are also people who, when examining their feet, are only aware of blisters caused by shoe friction.
How to treat lenting feet?
The first choice in treating lenting feet is to let your legs open and 'breathe' breathe free air. Usually, first the skin will break itself and the liquid inside will come out.
This is the safest way to deal with blisters especially if the bubble is about the size of a pea. Lenting feet of this size will generally heal in a few days. Next, don't forget to keep your feet clean. Clean your feet with soap and water. Then clean it also with alcohol.
But if you do have to keep running, cover the blister with a bandage to provide more protection and so you don't rub it directly with socks and shoes. Change your bandage every day and always check your feet for signs of infection or not, such as redness, swelling and pus out of the feet.
If you want to break the sting in your feet, you should think again, because you do it without a doctor's supervision can cause infection.
If the blisters have broken off naturally, and there is still a lot of fluid, press with a cotton swab slowly to blister the liquid.
How do you prevent loose feet from forming?
1. Choose the right shoe size
Choose the right and comfortable shoe size when you use to run. At least for running shoes, choose a half size larger, because you have to give a little more space in the finger area. Likewise when binding shoes. Don't get too tight, but don't get too loose, too much movement in your shoes.
2. Choose socks specifically designed for running
Look for socks made from synthetic fibers (not cotton). This fiber absorbs moisture from your feet. Special running socks also have a shape that fits with your feet, preventing socks from folding and causing blisters.
In addition, try using socks with a smooth and seamless surface. Some runners use two-layer socks to prevent blisters from forming.
3. Give moisturizer to the feet
Use a lotion to keep your feet moist. You can also apply lubricants such as petroleum jelly to areas that are often problematic. Spread enough not too much.
If it's too much it will make the legs more slippery and move against each other. Petroleum jelly is often used by some runners to keep their feet running
4. Make your feet always clean and dry
You should wash your feet with soap, then dry your feet and use powder if necessary before you wear shoes. Powder or even with corn flour that you normally use in the kitchen can keep your feet drier while using shoes.
