Friction Blister


Presentation

After wearing a pair of new or ill-fitting shoes or having gone on an unusually long hike or run, the patient complains of an uncomfortable open or intact blister on the posterior heel or ball of the foot. Occasionally these blisters will be hemorrhagic. Secondary infection may be the cause of the visit, after painful pustules, cellulitis, or lymphangitis develops.
