That’s what callouses are for! But here’s what you can do if the mat burns are still fresh.
A hot shower will sting like crazy but clean it. You don’t want to get an infection.
Wear flip flops to give your feet a chance to air out and heal.
Put a bandage over the raw spots if you have to wear shoes, otherwise your socks will get stuck in the sores, and that’s no fun to peel off.
Pick up NuSkin at a pharmacy. It’s a clear antiseptic that you paint on to cuts and scrapes to seal them. It even works on knuckles and toe joints. Be warned that it stings with the fury of a thousand suns when you first apply it.
When you go to train, you can try to wrap your foot with athletic tape, but it will get bunched up and come loose quickly. NuSkin is a better option, but it will wear off quickly if you’re sweating and dragging your feet on the mats again.
In the end, callouses really are your best solution!
