Suggest Treatment For Blisters On The Heel
My son is severely handicapped He started an adult program last month. I noticed what I that was a healing blister on his heel. I keep thinking it looks like a cigarette burn. I picked at the scab tonight and its like a dry hole . I have never seen a blister get a scab on it so I m really concerned any idea what else it could be. He wears a.fo os and goes in a stander at this new program. I have never had this happen at his old school.

Hi,
Most likely due to pressure over the heel giving blister following fluid accumulation after infection.
Home care with an ice pack and avoidance of pressure.
Need antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines to get it cured and avoid secondary infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
