The article addresses care tips and advice for those attending the second week of Rock in Rio, a festival that requires long hours on your feet, walking around Cidade do Rock, exposure to rain, and shows until the early morning. The goal is to separate myths from truths about recommendations circulating on social media to avoid discomfort during the event.
O EXTRA heard from Dr. Letycia Lopes to clarify the main doubts of festival-goers. Among the myths is the suggestion to place a pad inside your sneaker to keep feet dry. According to the specialist, this practice does not work: the pad may absorb moisture at first, but when it becomes soaked, it keeps the foot wet and increases friction, promoting the formation of blisters, chafing, and skin irritations.
The article also mentions the use of powder on feet as a way to prevent blisters, although the original text appears cut off at this point. The piece is part of a series that aims to gather various popular beliefs and explain what can really help festival-goers cope with the adverse conditions of the event.
