I ran barefoot strides on artificial turf today in Connecticut where temps were well over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I first checked that the artificial turf was not too hot to the touch and I thought I would be fine. But after two 100m efforts I decided to don my socks and shoes again as I was already hurting from the heat. Now ( about nine hours later) I walk daintily and am blistered slightly. Advice on speeding healing?
Only baseball players complain about blisters.
For the remote chance that you are serious, ice them. Rub an ice cube on the spots. The skins natural reaction to direct ice is to thicken. This speeds the healing process by a day or two.
Be sure to run your barefoot strides on the white lines when there is direct sun and temps above 80. They will be cool enough that you will not blister.
Get some tampax and put one in each shoe as an insole.

No, that's what "caused" the problem.
Remember the scene in the movie Old School where Luke Wilson get in the cab and his seat belt is broken? If not, please watch it. The Cab driver has some excellent advice for you.
