Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a friction blister. I suggest to use loose shoes and cotton socks. I recommend to clean the feet with an antibacterial soap. I also suggest to use Petroleum jelly for local application.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
