Keep it clean: The primary worry with any large area affected by blistering is the open areas can become secondarily infected with bacteria. Gentile cleaning several times a day with an antibacterial soap will help most heal as quickly as possible.Cleaning also washes away the salt from sweat that makes the areas itch. Some use antibiotic ointment or cream for worrisome areas.
