*FIN
ULCERS- If you are getting blisters from your fins, the first
step is:
Prevention: Dab huge globs of Vaseline on areas inside
your fin where you feel blisters might start. This is especially
effective with a new pair of fins. It will lubricate these areas
before blisters start while you're breaking in the new fins. Alternately,
you can pick up a pair of fin socks in our accessories
section.
Treatment: If you've already got sores from the fins, try
buying those corn or bunion cushions (see picture above) at the
drug store/chemist. They're shaped like donuts. Stick one over
your sore with the sore in the middle open part of the cushion.
For reinforcement, you can lay duct tape over that to keep in
on, and that should protect your cut from getting worse.
