depends where on your foot you are getting blisters. Buy the extra padding for normal shoes and put them in the skates, or add more support. if you are getting blisters from leaning a certain way or skating with you skates at an angle, try skating with your skates straighter and well balanced.

First off I hope your OK. Second, you really should never use ice to cool down a burn. You can "burn" yourself just as bad by using ice.(frostbite). Its too late now, but as soon as you realize you are burnt you should run cool, to cold water over the burn. This will remove the heat. If you don't remove the heat, you will just continue to cook. Once it has cooled off, and you believe it will just be a minot burn, redness or a slight blister, aply aloe. If it will become a bad blister or the blister breaks, you really should get it checked out by a doctor. You can get infected very easily if it is not taken care of properly.

It will get worse, much worse.  My track coach had me do a trick that helped a ton.  Take your shoes and socks off and sit in a sandbox at a playground.  Then extend your feet in front of you and stick them in the soft sand.  Then try and squeeze your feet so you are trying to curl your toes to your heel.  Do a few sets of 15 - 20 of this every day if you can.  It made my shin splints go completely away.

I am an ice skater and i had the same problem as you. You just need to go on it a lot and get friends to help or a lesson!

being a professional i advise a comforting regiment of heat and ice, maybe some over the counter icy hot, and maybe you are overdoing it are you standing too much? dont forget to wear comfortable shoes.

You're either looking at an improper fit or a breaking in period. Try wearing socks for a while to ease the blister pain. When not wearing boots, allow the blisters to dry out and heal. Ocean water is great for drying out blisters and helping them heal quicker.

If there is lightning associated with your rain storm, don't run.\n\nOtherwise, the biggest problem you're likely to have is getting blisters from running in wet shoes and socks.  I always grease my feet up with Vaseline® when I'm going to end up getting my shoes and socks wet. It helps prevent blisters.\n\nTry to avoid puddles if you can. You'll keep your feet dry longer, and it's difficult to tell what the running surface is like under the surface.

Some thing i do with my blisters which people don't approve of, is that i take a sterile one-use only piercing needle, i pierce the thin layer of skin, i take some whipes and get the liquid out. Then with my finger, i flatten the skin layer on the body and i do that during a day i don't need to wear shoes so that the skin dries out. Bandaids are a good idea, but they don't let the area breathe, and it locks humidity, bacteria reproduces in humidity but dies when it's with contact or air. So if you don't want to burst your blister, you can put a bandaid or just leave it like that, but always wear clean clothes on the area where the blister is. If it bursts while your in contact with dirty clothes there might be an infection although it's very rare.

You are having allergic reactions. Best thing for that is to take Benadryl. It works wonders. Ice an irritation if it's hot or swollen.

It depends on what your goals are.  If you're a beginner, balance and uneven pavement will be your greatest obstacles.  If you have ever skated on ice, you'll be ahead of the game.  If not - take some lessons.  Common injuries to beginners are usually to the wrists and the head.  Wear a wrist guards and a helmet.  Here's a beginner's tip for you:  learn to glide/roll on one skate at a time to develop better balance.

Well, go to the side of the rink, and try skating there.  It's easier.  then try so straighten your legs, and pretend you're on a tightrope.  keep the blades straight.  If that still doesn't work, try changing ice skates.  It may be that the skates are too worn out.  That always happens.

Wearb thicker socks, a bandage, or petroleum jelly on a foot likely to blister can reduce friction and prevent a blister

stretch and ice massage...get paper cups and fill them with water, freeze them and once they are frozen tear them down and rub the ice on you IT band for 5-7 minutes.

eyzon47's answer is right on target - a thin, moisture-wicking first layer (polypropylene or some other synthetic like CoolMax, etc.) followed by thick  wool second layer for cushioning.  If you are prone to blisters, try applying something like Coach's tape or moleskin or one of the other fancy things like second-skin to the trouble spots before hitting the trail.  You have to keep this in mind when buying your hiking shoes - try them on with thick socks to make sure you have enough space.

well for one thing you might want to get your own pair of skates because the ones they offer for rent at the rink are no good you might have noticed the way your feet lean to one side that's because the rental skates give hardly any ankle support. I have been skating for 8 years and i still can't stay up in those.  You might be trying hockey skates but i don't know anything about those but if you are using figure skates try to remember to not push off with your toepick you have to stroke using your whole blade. Skating isn't like walking you don't rock from heel to toe you push back and to the side not straight back if you're still having trouble and you want to get serious about skating most rinks have a group of coaches that you can get lessons from or you can enroll in the learn-to-skate classes that they offer

If it does not bother you to walk on then dont pop. \n\nIf it does bother you to walk on rub the blister with alcohol and rub a needle with alcohol. Make a small hole and let drain. Then cover the blister with a bandage.
