1. Why do we get blisters?
2. What’s the best way to treat a blister?
3. Do I need to pop the blister? What should I do if it popped accidentally?
Ideally a blister should not be ruptured. This is because the blister exists to protect the skin underneath from additional infection. If a blister is already open, the remaining skin layer should not be removed. Either way, it’s important to protect the wound from external influences and contamination. So, carefully clean and dry the affected area before applying anything to it. If the blister is already deroofed we recommend additional disinfection.
Hansaplast Blister Plaster relieves pain from pressure and friction immediately and creates an optimal moist wound healing environment that allows the wound to heal faster. During the healing process, the blister is safely sealed and protected from dirt and bacteria.
4. Can I use a healing cream underneath the Hansaplast Blister Plaster?
No, we don’t recommend it. Applying any ointment, cream or other product under the blister plaster could reduce its effectiveness and adhesive power.
5. How often do I need to change the blister plaster?
Hansaplast Blister Plaster with its Hydrocolloid Technology creates an optimal moist wound healing environment that allows the wound to heal faster. So that the healing process is not disturbed, and as long as no signs of infection occur the plaster should be left in place for several days. It should only be changed when it peels off by itself.
