Blisters on the soles of the feet may result from physiological factors, or they could be caused by pathological conditions such as eczema or athlete's foot. Treatment options include general care and medication. Specific details are as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
Prolonged incorrect walking posture or wearing ill-fitting shoes can cause separation between the skin and dermis of the foot, leading to blister formation. It is recommended to wear loose, comfortable footwear and avoid prolonged walking.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Eczema
This may be triggered by various internal or external factors, such as irregular diet or local irritation, manifesting as red patches, blisters, and similar symptoms. Under medical guidance, topical treatments such as desonide cream or tacrolimus ointment may be applied.
2. Dyshidrotic Eczema (Pompholyx)
When localized sweating is impaired, sweat cannot be properly excreted and accumulates beneath the skin, resulting in small transparent blisters accompanied by itching or pain. Under medical supervision, medications such as prednisone acetate tablets or oryzanol tablets may be used.
In addition to the above causes, blisters may also result from common warts, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, or tinea pedis. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, favoring light and easily digestible foods.
