In class we have been working on projects that are about skin. My topic is blisters, so I decided to write about what I've learned. Blisters are small pockets filled with fluid that form in the upper layers of skin. They form because of friction, burning, freezing, or chemical exposure. They form to protect the damaged tissue underneath. They are normally filled with clear liquid but can be filled with blood or pus if infected. Most blisters form on the hands and feet. Blisters heal naturally after 3 to 7 days. To treat cover the blister and try to make sure it doesn't get punctured, though if it's large and painful use a sterilized needle to puncture the edge of the blister and slowly drain it.
I didn't know many of these facts before I read your post! I find them to be very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI like how you gave the information from your own project and put it on your post.
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if you left the painful blister and didn't lightly puncture it with a needle; would it go away by itself or would it stay and leave a mark?
