SKIN DISEASES
What are Blisters?
Blisters are fluid-filled small pockets that form on the upper layers of the skin, usually from friction, burns, infections, or skin conditions. They protect the skin while healing.

• Burns – Thermal, sun, or chemical burns.
• Infections – Conditions like chickenpox or herpes.
• Allergic Reactions – Substances like poison ivy or chemicals.
• Medical Conditions – Eczema, dermatitis or autoimmune diseases.
Symptoms of Blisters :
- Raised, fluuid-filled bubbles on skin
- Redness, swelling, pain, or itching
- Discomfort or irritation when pressure is applied
Treatment of Blisters :
• Protection – Cover with a clean bandage.
• Hygiene – Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
• Avoid Popping – If blister does break, clean the area with mild soap and water and apply an antibiotic ointment.
• Pain Relief – Over-the-counter medications help.
