A blister results when cells have been damages, often causing

immune cells to release histamine, which causes the general inflammatory

blistering effect under the skin.

Answer 9

They can be caused by wearing too tight of shoes, friction, burns, or even medications due to an allergic reaction.  There are different kinds.  Blood blisters and water blisters too.

Blood blisters are caused by a rupture of the blood vessels underneath the skin’s surface. This rupture is usually caused by some form of trauma, such as pinching.

Answer 10

Simply--friction.  By rubbing one part of skin on another object a blister forms.

Answer 11

if you use the monkey bars a lot or wear something that makes you feel awkward for example shoes that barely fit you.

Answer 12

Blisters form when the area has been rubbed for too long, as with wearing new shoes,or if the area has been burned. The actual blister is formed to protect the area, it consists of white blood cells, called plasma, this area eventually dries, forming a scab, that will eventually fall off, depending on the size of the blister, one should never pop them, because this will cause infection.Just pat it gently with white surgical spirit. be careful.

Answer 13

it is caused from friction on burning yuor skin wich both cause heat and you body sends water to the effected area to cool it down and protect it and try and save the skin............ i think

tips

only pop them if you think they will pop on their own

but a band aid and neosporin on them and drink lots of water and they go away much faster.

Answer 14

Heat and/or friction.

The heat or friction damages the layers of skin in such a way that the upper layer remains intact, but becomes separated from the layers beneath it. That creates a gap between the layers of skin, which fills up with serum; the serum pushes against the top layer of skin so that it bulges out, and voila, blister.

Blisters can also form as a side effect of medication, allergic reactions, and the like.
