What is a good blister treatment?
To prevent blisters, you need to minimize friction. For the feet, this begins with appropriate shoe and sock selection. Make sure your shoes are the right size and shape. Wear socks made from synthetic blends. Before you exercise, apply petroleum jelly or talcum power to reduce friction, if needed. If you get a blister, you'll want to relieve your pain, keep the blister from enlarging, and avoid infection. Signs of infection include pus draining from the blister, very red or warm skin around the blister, and red streaks leading away from the blister. Small, intact blisters that don't cause discomfort usually need no treatment. The best protection against infection is a blister's own skin.

The reason you are getting blisters in the first place is probably because your socks and/or shoes don't fit properly and that is causing your skin to rub against your socks and shoes and creates a blister. You need to get better fitting shoes, use moleskin and vaseline and the blisters should be gone for good.
