Blister
Blisters are little pockets that occur between the layers of the epidermis (the outer skin) or between the epidermis and dermis (lower layer of skin), which become filled with fluid. Blisters are most often caused by friction, such as a sock rubbing against a foot while walking, but they can also be caused by burning, freezing, infection, or chemicals. Usually, blisters are filled with a liquid called serum; this helps to cushion the injury site while the skin heals. Occasionally, a deep blister can be filled with blood, and an infected blister fills with pus. If a blister is not infected, it is best to leave it intact, as the fluid cushions and protects the layers as they heal. Coating a blister with Wound-Be-Gone® can keep it most, keeping it from cracking and helping reduce friction. For infected blisters, draining the pus is required, before coating with Wound-Be-Gone®.
