How Do You Spell BLISTER?

1. A blister is a raised area on the skin that is filled with fluid, typically caused by friction, burns, or other types of injury. It is a common condition experienced by individuals of all ages and can occur on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, or even the mouth.

   Typically, blisters appear as small, rounded pockets of fluid that develop within or on the top layer of the skin. The fluid within the blister is usually clear and consists of serum or plasma. Blisters can range in size from small, unnoticeable bumps to large, swollen lesions.

   The most common cause of blisters is repeated friction or rubbing of the skin against a particular surface. For instance, ill-fitting shoes may lead to blisters on the feet, while prolonged use of hand tools can result in blisters on the hands. Additionally, burns, such as those caused by heat or chemicals, can also lead to blister formation.

   Treatment for blisters usually involves protecting the affected area, allowing the blister to heal naturally, and preventing further friction or irritation. In some cases, however, medical intervention may be necessary, particularly if the blister is infected or if it causes severe pain or discomfort.

   Overall, blisters are a common and temporary skin condition that typically resolve on their own with time and adequate care.

2. 1. A collection of fluid in the skin beneath the epidermis which is raised to form the upper wall of the sac, the base of the blister being formed by the corium. 2. An agent the application of which to the skin will cause the formation of a blister.
