Blisters
We've all suffered a blister when we've worn an uncomfortable pair of shoes. The blister forms due to rubbing and pressure. Blisters are small oval shaped water bubbles that develop under the skin. The clear liquid inside a blister is called serum. An unbroken blister that contains serum can protect the skin beneath it from becoming damaged.
Vesicle is the medical term used to refer to small blisters; while larger blisters (bigger than half an inch) are called bulla. Blisters filled with blood rather then clear serum are called blood blisters. These types of blemishes can appear on the mouth, foot, genitals and even the tongue.
