Produktbeschreibung
This book describes Skin Blisters, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
A skin blister, which is also called a vesicle by doctors, is a raised area of skin that is filled with fluid.
People are probably familiar with blisters if they have ever worn ill-fitting shoes for too long.
Skin blisters appear spontaneously when there is significant friction and repeated skin.
Bulbs arise from a reaction of cells to the shear friction that acts as a burn the top layer of skin off a blister to form in which oozes a clear liquid, a serous fluid.
The bulb is equivalent to a second degree burn (characterized by blisters).
This frequent cause of blistering produces vesicles when friction between the skin and the shoe results in layers of skin separating and filling with fluid.
Blisters are often annoying, painful, or uncomfortable.
But in most cases, they are not a symptom of anything serious and will heal without any medical intervention.
1. If the bubble (blister) is formed and still intact, it should be clear giving a little bit in a "side" with a needle or a small pair of scissors that will be cleansed with surgical alcohol beforehand.
If it does not cut the blister, it is left in place, after having pressed (flattened) and sponged clean with a disposable tissue.
If the blister is gone and the flesh is exposed, the doctor will go straight to the cleaning.
2. Wash the bulb with water and soap.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a disposable tissue.
4. If there is a skin disinfectant which the person is not allergic, it can be applied at this time.
5. Ideally, the wound should be left in the open air, without rubbing, to heal.
6. But if it is not always possible, a dry protective dressing is placed on it.
7. Inspect the wound once daily.
8. If it stays clean and heals well, it is not necessary to disinfect every time.
9. Change the dressing after each treatment.
Complete healing occurs in 3-4 days.
Causes
There are many temporary causes of blisters.
Friction occurs when something rubs against the skin for a prolonged period of time.
This happens most often on hands and feet.
1. Contact dermatitis can also cause blisters.
This is a skin reaction to allergens, like poison ivy, latex, adhesives, or irritants like chemicals or pesticides.
It can cause red, inflamed skin and blistering.
2. Burns, if severe enough, can produce blistering.
This involves burns from heat, chemicals, and sunburns.
3. Allergic eczema is a skin condition that is caused or worsened by allergens and can produce blisters.
Another type of eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, also results in blistering but its cause is unknown, and it tends to come and go.
4. Frostbite is less common, but it can cause blisters on skin that is exposed to extreme cold for a prolonged period of time.
Blistering can also be a symptom of certain infections such as:
1. Impetigo, a bacterial infection of the skin that can occur in both children and adults, may cause blisters.
2. Chickenpox, an infection caused by a virus, produces itchy spots and often blisters on the skin.
This is the same virus that produces chickenpox also produces shingles or herpes zoster.
3. Herpes simplex and the resulting cold sores can lead to skin blistering.
4. Stomatitis is a sore inside the mouth caused by herpes simplex 1.
5. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection that can also cause blisters around the genital region.
6. Erysipelas is an infection caused by the Streptococcus group of bacteria, which produces skin blisters
Treatment
Most blisters need no treatment
Besides medicine for the infection, the doctor may give medical treatment for symptoms.
Some disorders such as pemphigus do not have a cure.
