Q: How do I prevent blisters?
Dr. John Hulvey
A: Your shoes should fit always comfortably and make sure they are never wet. Wearing two pairs of socks can help minimize the chance of blisters as well. On areas that tend to rub, use petroleum jelly or foot powder. Placing athletic tape or bandages over sore spots can ease the discomfort.
