Bob Satko is ready and willing to run 250 miles to raise money for his grandson, who suffers from Fancomi Anemia. Satko’s grandson was diagnosed with the condition in 2013. Fancomi Anemia is an uncommon blood disease that can turn into bone marrow and even develop certain cancers. The marathon Satko will participate in will be putting raised money towards the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, which will aid his grandson and others suffering from the condition.

Two years prior, Satko finished a previous challenge that left the grandfather with blisters on his feet. “This year I will be much more careful,” the Maple Valley resident said. This year, Satko will run an extra 50 miles beyond the finish line in support of his grandson.

Blisters on the feet can be difficult to contend with. If you sustained blisters on your feet, see podiatrist Dr. Kevin H. Lapoff, DPM of Lake Worth Podiatry. Dr. Lapoff can treat your foot and ankle needs.

Blisters on the Feet

When tight or ill-fitting footwear is worn, many times a foot blister may develop. Blisters can even develop by constant rubbing from the shoe, often times leading to pain.

What is a Foot Blister?

A foot blister is a small pocket that is filled with fluid, forming on the upper most layer of the skin. Blisters are filled with clear fluid, and may lead to drainage of blood or pus if the area has become infected.

How do they Form?

Blisters of the feet are almost always the result of shoe rubbing and constant friction of the skin and material. Long periods of walking in shoes, sandals, or boots which don’t fit properly can result in a blister. Those who often have moisture or humidity in the feet are prone to blister formation easily.
