Reasons for education

Watery blisters appear suddenly and begin to itch, causing a person to experience physical and mental discomfort.

Painful growths on the skin, filled with a clear liquid called lymph, are localized throughout the body, depending on the cause:

1. Prolonged friction with the surface. Blisters on the toes appear due to rubbing from shoes. The problem often occurs when breaking in new boots or wearing high-heeled shoes.
2. Fungal infection. Infection occurs while visiting public baths, saunas or swimming pools without personal protective equipment. At an early stage, the fungus causes redness and peeling of the skin in the interdigital area, then small swellings appear. When infected with a fungus, unbearable itching and burning are characteristic.
3. Infectious skin diseases. Infectious diseases can lie in wait in places where there are large crowds of people - on the beach or in a water park. It manifests itself as irritation on the phalanx in the form of small red pimples, which can increase in size, smell and spread throughout the body.
4. Sunburn. Prolonged exposure to the sun without applying special creams with SPF protection can result in the appearance of watery blisters on the body as a result of a severe burn.
5. Insect bites. Blood-sucking insects leave a mark in the form of red tubercles after injecting poisonous saliva. The bubbles may increase in size with intense scratching. Baby's delicate skin is especially susceptible to large blisters containing white fluid.
6. Allergic reaction. Irritation and painful swelling may occur upon contact with the allergen. Chemicals or the introduction of unknown foods into the diet of infants can trigger allergies, characterized by skin rashes.

Callus formation

A callus is formed exclusively by prolonged mechanical action on the skin (friction, squeezing).

There is a distinction between dry callus, which appears in the form of necrosis of keratinized epithelial cells, and vesicular callus, which contains callus fluid in its cavity. Fluid collects over the area where the skin is damaged. This protective mechanism helps prevent further damage to the skin and gives the tissue underneath the fluid time to regenerate.

A wet callus may be red in color. This is explained by the admixture of blood in the callosal fluid due to the close proximity of blood capillaries during skin trauma.

Blisters on the feet are the result of wearing tight or new shoes.

Fungal infection

It is a common cause of blisters on the legs. You can become infected in public places with high humidity: swimming pools, saunas, pedicure rooms, beaches. Men are prone to mycoses of the legs 2 times more often than women. This is due to the fact that the stronger sex wears more closed and poorly ventilated shoes.

Infection of the feet with fungi occurs through tiny flakes of the epidermis from the feet of a sick person through public places. After the scales enter a humid environment, the fungus begins to multiply intensively. Mycoses of the feet are localized in the folds of the fingers. Once in the fold, the fungus grows rapidly and begins to cause a burning sensation, and then the formation of blisters.

Allergic reaction

The appearance of blisters on the legs of allergic origin occurs as a result of skin contact with an allergen. Once in the body or on the skin, the allergy-causing agent increases the level of immunoglobulin, histamine and increases the level of inflammatory mediators. All this leads to irritation of the skin papillae and the appearance of blisters. The permeability of blood vessels increases, blood elements enter the intercellular space and cause swelling.

Allergies on the legs in the form of blisters appear in the following situations:

• Tight shoes made from artificial materials
• Increased sweating of feet and non-breathable shoes
• Exposure to chemical elements contained in shoe polish, foot deodorant, nail polish, etc.
• Allergy to cold or heat

Types of allergic rashes on the legs:

1. Dermatitis caused by an allergen. Against the background of redness, ulcers, burning, and crusts appear on the skin.
2. Hives. In the form of burgundy or pink blisters. Characterized by severe itching and local skin lesions.
3. Reaction to cold. Local swelling and a small watery rash occurs.

Treatment recommendations

Acne on the feet is often confused with dry calluses, so self-medication is ineffective. To get rid of profuse rashes on the body and legs as soon as possible, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

• choose clothes and shoes only from natural fabrics;
• give up heels at least for a while;
• change skincare products;

Types of blisters on feet

Blisters on the legs always indicate one or another pathology of the body. Which one can be differentiated by the shape and color of the rash:

1. A whitish vesicle with a diameter of no more than 0.5 mm with liquid inside indicates the presence of diseases such as herpetic disease, dermatitis caused by allergies, and varicella zoster virus.
2. A bubble containing pus in its own cavity indicates an infectious lesion of the skin of the legs caused by a bacterium.
3. A blister is a transparent bubble. Occurs due to friction, insect bites, allergies.
4. A node with a change in skin texture and peripheral color indicates a wart, papilloma or skin eczema.

Kinds

The types of blisters depend on the severity:

• lungs. Water calluses and insect bites do not pose a threat if timely measures are taken to eliminate the problem;
• average. Blisters that appear from prolonged exposure to the scorching sun are considered a 2nd degree burn and require medical help, especially in cases of children. Fungal infections on the legs can spread quickly, making treatment much more difficult;
• heavy. A severe allergic reaction can cause Quincke's edema, which can be fatal. At the first signs of an allergy, you should urgently seek medical help. Infectious skin diseases are contagious and require immediate treatment to avoid spreading to the surface of the body and introducing additional infection. This may cause blood poisoning.

Treatment of watery blisters

Treatment varies depending on the factor causing the blisters on the legs themselves.

If the blisters are caused by an allergy, oral antihistamines are prescribed. Their action is aimed at blocking histamine, which triggers the formation of inflammatory blistering formations on the skin.

In order for the treatment to be as effective as possible, it is necessary to find and eliminate the very cause of the allergy, that is, the allergen. These can be external factors - flowering, dust, wool, etc. And internal factors, the entry of allergen into the body. For this purpose, it is necessary to donate blood from a vein to the allergy panel.

For local application directly to the blisters, antihistamine ointments, creams, and hormonal drugs are used.

If the cause of the blisters is a fungus, antimycotic lotions, creams, emulsions are also used locally, and for local treatment of a fungal infection, antimycotic drugs are used orally. It is very important to also take medications that have a detoxifying effect on the body, since fungi, forming spores, release a huge amount of toxins into the body, thereby poisoning it. Sorbents and saline solutions are used to remove toxins.

In case of infectious lesions of the skin of the legs, antiseptic agents are used that destroy the bacteria themselves and prevent their further reproduction. Creams and ointments with antibacterial effects are also used. If local therapy does not bring results, oral antibiotics are prescribed.
