Have you tried these ArmaSkin toe socks,

👉Toe sockettes provide all round protection for individual toes.
👉The inner surface of the sock has a silicone (Si) polymer coating which gently holds to the skin and PREVENTS any FRICTION that would occur naturally between socks and skin or between toes.
👉The toe sock is worn as a liner sock. The smooth outer surface of the ArmaSkin toe sock slides easily against the normal outer sock thus providing the critical barrier to shear forces being transferred to skin layers.
👉Any movement generated in the boot/shoe is deflected by the smooth outer surface.
👉The polymer coating is macro porous and hydrophobic (water hating) therefore SHIFTS MOISTURE away from the skin keeping it drier.
👉Right foot and Left foot profiles combine with flexible material to provide a snug fit free of folds.
👉In addition the Silicon fusion polymer is bacteria static so the socks can be worn for prolonged periods of time.

Hand Blisters
Podiatrists are insured to treat hands as well as feet…… a little-known fact!

Every year when the weather is glorious, everyone gets to grips with household tasks like gardening and repairing jobs. After the winter of cosiness, our hands often suffer from blisters more due to their increased workload.

Blisters are all created in the same way on all areas of the body, not just feet but the feet carry a bigger force in the body weight.

If you are someone that is prone to blisters then we have so many prevention techniques and products to reduce the causes of a blister. These causes are pressure, movement and moisture. There are simple things we can use to reduce the likelihood of blisters, such as lace locking, good footwear choices, and skincare routines. We stock socks like Armaskin which removed all of those conditions with their (Si) polymer friction coating.

If you frequently get blisters after gardening, take a look at Pellitec.

`Pellitec` blister pads, there are two in a packet and they can either stick to the gardening tools or your hands.

We know Pellitec blister pads were designed originally to go in footwear which they do that job really well but we do like to try all our products in all sorts of situations and see how they fare. They have a medical-grade and not industrial glue which means they are kind to the skin.

Should I pull off my toenail? 🤔

Have you ever had a toenail fall off after an event or a long day out hiking? You may not have seen it but it’s probably caused by a blister. Blisters form underneath the toenail and this causes the nail to detach. It can take months for the nail to completely fall off, which is frustrating and painful.

It's been a while since I said hello, I'm Lindsey Ebbs a podiatrist.

I qualified in Podiatry from Durham in 1988 and after working in a private practice I ventured off and created my own practice, I worked for the local GP surgery, initially for a 6 month pilot scheme and ended up staying for 8 years! Although Podiatry has always been my constant, I have also developed properties and for 11 years ran a holiday accommodation business.

On a Personal level, swimming has always been a great love of mine, I used to be a competitive swimmer and went on to be a voluntary swimming coach for my local swimming club for 16 years. Such a pleasure of bringing on young talent and seeing them progress to be not only great swimmers but amazing young people to be around. Sadly I couldn’t continue to give my time as my mum became ill and my priorities changed.

Rescuing dogs is something I have done for 32 years, they have come in through the door in all sorts of shapes, sizes and levels of behavioural issues! As you can see from the photo, Chester is a Jack Chi mix and my 9th rescue and Lovely Luna in the background is my faithful German shepherd. An unusual mix of little and large but it is always a conversation starter!

In my opinion dogs always give more than they take and like Suzanne, walking every day is just a good habit that is not only good for the body but for the mind too.

My children have grown and flown the nest, which left me with some time to consider my next career step. I realised there was a need for more help and information regarding blister prevention and treatment. Hence `Blisterhelp was` born!

The photo is of me, mid-volunteering at the Marathon des Sables last year, kinda a life-changing moment,
