Silicone sheeting is recommended in international scar-management guidelines. - [MILEPROOF Silicone Foam Dressing](https://getmileproof.com/products/silicone-foam-dressing/) (silicone-bordered foam wound dressing): Absorbent foam dressings with a gentle silicone border for scrapes, road rash and opened blisters after the finish.

The most reliable prevention is dry feet in synthetic or wool socks, shoes that fit and are broken in, managed calluses, and covering known hotspots with tape or a blister patch before you run. If a blister forms, leave it intact and cover it. - [Hydrocolloid Blister Patches: How They Work and When to Use Them](https://getmileproof.com/guides/hydrocolloid-blister-patches-explained/): A hydrocolloid blister patch is a thin adhesive pad containing gel-forming particles. It cushions a hotspot or blister, keeps the area moist and covered, and absorbs a small amount of fluid, turning white as it does. Apply it to clean, dry skin and leave it on until it starts to lift by itself. - [Runner's Nipple: Causes, Prevention and Treatment](https://getmileproof.com/guides/runners-nipple-prevention/): Runner's nipple (jogger's nipple) is chafing caused by a shirt rubbing the nipples over many miles. It is more common at higher mileage, in heat or rain and with cotton shirts. Prevent it with a fitted, moisture-wicking top and a physical barrier: nipple guards, skin-safe tape or a lubricant applied before the run. - [Do Nasal Strips Help Running? What the Research Says](https://getmileproof.com/guides/nasal-strips-for-athletes-what-research-says/): External nasal strips reliably reduce nasal airway resistance, which makes breathing through the nose easier, and they can delay the switch to mouth breathing during exercise. But a 2020 systematic review of 19 studies found no significant effect on VO2max, heart rate or perceived exertion. Use them for comfort in nasal breathing, not as a performance enhancer. - [Silicone Scar Sheets: How to Use Them After Injury or Surgery](https://getmileproof.com/guides/silicone-scar-sheets-how-to-use/): International scar guidelines recommend silicone gel sheeting for managing raised scars. Start once the wound has fully closed, wear the sheet at least 12 hours a day, and continue for at least two to three months. The evidence base has weaknesses, so expect gradual, modest change rather than a scar that disappears. - [Hand Rips in CrossFit and Fitness Racing: Prevent and Treat](https://getmileproof.com/guides/hand-rips-fitness-racing/): Hand rips happen when friction from bars, handles or ropes tears a thick callus away from the skin underneath. Prevent them by filing calluses flat, keeping skin moisturized, using chalk sparingly, wearing grips or tape on high-volume pulling sessions and building volume gradually. Clean a rip, trim loose skin and keep it covered while it heals. - [How to Prevent Chafing When Running: Thighs & Underarms](https://getmileproof.com/guides/chafing-running-prevention/): Chafing is skin damage from repeated friction made worse by sweat. Prevent it with fitted, moisture-wicking clothing instead of cotton, a barrier on high-risk areas (balm, petroleum jelly or anti-chafe film), and by changing out of wet kit promptly. Stop and protect the area at the first sign of redness. - [Marathon Race Day Checklist: Blisters, Chafing & Nipples](https://getmileproof.com/guides/marathon-race-day-skin-checklist/): A few days before: trim toenails and file calluses. The night before: lay out tested shoes, socks and kit, and pack blister patches, nipple guards, anti-chafe film and nasal strips. On race morning, apply everything to clean, dry skin before you dress: anti-chafe film and blister patches first, then nipple guards, sunscreen, and the nasal strip last. Carry a spare patch. - [Should You Pop a Blister? What Dermatologists Say](https://getmileproof.com/guides/should-you-pop-a-blister/): Usually no. Leave a blister intact if you can, because the roof of skin keeps bacteria out; cover it with a bandage or a hydrocolloid patch. If it's large and very painful, drain it at the edge with a sterilized needle, leave the roof in place and cover it. See a clinician for signs of infection, and if you have diabetes or poor circulation, ask before draining. - [Inner Thigh Chafing: How to Stop It and Treat It](https://getmileproof.com/guides/inner-thigh-chafing/): Inner thigh chafing is skin damage from thighs or fabric rubbing together, made worse by sweat. It can happen at any age or body size. Prevent it with fitted, moisture-wicking shorts or tights (not cotton) and a barrier such as anti-chafe film, balm or petroleum jelly applied before activity. If you chafe, stop, wash gently, pat dry and protect the skin while it heals. - [Hydrocolloid vs Moleskin vs Tape: Choosing Blister Protection](https://getmileproof.com/guides/hydrocolloid-vs-moleskin-vs-tape/): Use paper tape or a thin low-friction patch to protect a hotspot before a run, a hydrocolloid patch to cover and cushion a blister that has formed or opened, and moleskin with a cut-out (donut) to take pressure off an intact blister. Evidence is limited: paper tape is the only option with randomized-trial support for prevention, and those results are mixed. - [How to Treat Road Rash From a Bike Crash or Fall](https://getmileproof.com/guides/road-rash-treatment/): Rinse road rash under clean running water, gently remove grit, keep the wound moist with a thin layer of petroleum jelly and cover it with a non-stick or foam dressing changed daily or when wet. Get medical care if you can't remove the debris, the wound is deep or large, or it shows signs of infection, and check whether you need a tetanus booster. - [Black Toenails From Running: Causes, Prevention and When to Worry](https://getmileproof.com/guides/black-toenails-running/): A black toenail from running is usually bleeding under the nail (a subungual hematoma) caused by the toe repeatedly hitting the front of the shoe, especially on downhills or in shoes that are too short. Prevent it with enough toe room, short nails and good lacing. Don't pull off a loose nail. See a doctor for throbbing pain or a dark streak that you can't link to an injury, which can rarely be melanoma. - [What to Bring to a Marathon: Race Day Packing List](https://getmileproof.com/guides/marathon-race-day-packing-list/): For a marathon, pack your bib and pins, timing chip, tested shoes and socks, race-day clothes and a throwaway layer, your usual fuel and fluids, skin protection (nipple guards, anti-chafe film or balm, blister patches), sunscreen, and a post-race bag with dry clothes. Check your race's rules: many big marathons only accept their own clear gear bag. - [Best Blister Patches for Running: How to Choose (2026)](https://getmileproof.com/guides/best-blister-patches-for-running/): The best blister patch for running is a thin hydrocolloid patch with tapered edges, in a shape that fits the spot (heel, toe or ball of the foot), large enough to cover the hotspot with margin and designed to stay on through sweat. Use it on a known hotspot before the run or over a blister afterward, apply it to clean, dry skin, and test it on a long run before race day. - [Nasal Strips for Running: How to Choose the Right Ones](https://getmileproof.com/guides/best-nasal-strips-for-running/): For running, choose an external nasal strip in the right size for your nose, with an adhesive made to hold through sweat, and test it in training. Strips reliably reduce nasal resistance, which makes nose breathing feel easier, but research doesn't show a consistent performance gain, so choose them for comfort. They're drug-free and not intended to treat snoring or sleep apnea. - [Best Anti-Chafe for Running: Balm vs Film vs Guards](https://getmileproof.com/guides/best-anti-chafe-for-running/): The best anti-chafe setup for running depends on the spot and the distance. For runs up to a couple of hours, a balm or petroleum jelly on thighs and underarms works for most people. For marathons, hot or wet races, use something that doesn't wear off: anti-chafe film on inner thighs and underarms and nipple guards or skin-safe tape on the chest, plus fitted, moisture-wicking clothing instead of cotton. ## Company - [About and editorial policy](https://getmileproof.com/about/) - [Quality standards and testing](https://getmileproof.com/quality/): Every key measure at least as good as the best-selling competing products, tested side by side. - [FAQ](https://getmileproof.com/faq/) - [Contact](https://getmileproof.com/contact/): hello@getmileproof.com ## Optional - [Full text of all pages](https://getmileproof.com/llms-full.txt)
