Blood blisters

Blood blisters

These blood blister formed due to extreme heat while she was playing basketball for an hour on asphalt on a 100 degree weather day!!! A blood blister is marked by a raised section of skin filled with blood. They are very similar to blisters caused from friction that fill with a clear fluid. In the case of blood blisters, pressure broke blood vessels and mixed blood with the clear fluid. This combination fills the pocket. As the feet are filled with many nerves and blood vessels and are under pressure most of the waking day, blisters on the feet can be especially painful. Depending on where a blister is on the foot, it can be disabling and hard to treat. Most blisters are harmless and resolve spontaneously, but if they get big, manual drainage or evacuation is the favorable method of treatment. Credit to: @medicaltalks
