Not just for blisters!
I actually don’t use these bandaids for my heels (anymore), though they worked great when I had to cover a blister. I use these for blemishes on my face. I clean my skin at night, pat dry, then apply one of these over the forming/offending area. Moisturize around the bandaid, go to bed, and sleep with the bandaid on the acne spot.
When I wake up, 9/10 times, the bandaid has absorbed the contents of the blemish, leaving my skin flat (albeit a little dry).
My skin has loved this. I don’t have to pop blemishes anymore, which speeds up the healing process immensely, and reduces risk of introducing bacteria to the area. Just don’t put any acne cream on under the bandaid prior to application—you’ll irritate the heck out of your skin. (My skin is nowhere near “sensitive,” and I made this mistake... the results looked similar to a chemical burn.)
