Cold sores are contagious right from when you start feeling the symptoms up until their resolution (about a week). Risk of contagion is at its peak upon cold sore rupture (blister pop). To avoid contagion refrain from touching or popping your cold sores. Wash your hands after contact. Compeed® Cold Sore Discreet Healing Patches are air- and water-tight and as such will help you to contain the virus by discreetly covering the sore.

Blister fluid encourages new growth and regeneration of the underlying skin. It is therefore not recommended to drain a blister. The best way for a blister to heal fast is to keep it intact under a protective moist environment. Compeed® Blister plasters provide this kind of optimal healing environment while relieving pain and pressure.

Bunions can only be completely reversed surgically. Nevertheless, surgery is rarely needed. Surgery is necessary if an underlying foot deformity is causing the bunion. In most cases, by taking care of your bunion you can slow down its progression or even stop it.

You should not pop a blister, if at all possible. The blister roof constitutes a protective layer against infections and keep the blister fluid in place to allow for faster regeneration of the skin. Using Compeed® Blister plasters will help you protect the blister while relieving pain and pressure as well as eliminating friction for a faster healing.

The best course of action is to protect the blister in order to keep it from tearing and allow the skin under it to heal on its own. Eliminating or reducing the source of friction is necessary for a blister to heal properly. Using a Compeed® Blister plaster will help you by relieving pain instantly, providing deep cushioning, reducing pressure and creating a moist environment, thus optimizing the time for the blister to heal under this protective second skin.
