Summary
Friction blisters are a common injury among active duty military that can have a notable adverse impact to military readiness. They form when an object is repeatedly moved across the skin with enough force to cause the layers of skin to release heat, causing redness and a separation between the outermost layer of the skin and rest of the skin layers. To minimize the likelihood of developing a blister and/or reduce the severity of any blisters, it is important to start slowly and build up to activity and equipment, use synthetic moisture wicking blends, keep skin dry, minimize contact between the foot and shoe, use skin coverings, and avoid wearing clothing that is too tight or too loose.
