  A blister is a sign that your skin is trying to defend itself. Your skin has built-in defenses that protect it after an injury, says Dr. Daiza. If something causes irritation or damage, your skin sends fluid to that area. The fluid forms a bubble under the top layer of skin to cushion deeper layers from further damage. […] Common causes include: […] Friction: Any repeated rubbing of your skin can cause a blister. Shoes are the most common cause of blisters, says Dr. Daiza. […] Burns: Second-degree burns, which affect the first and second layers of the skin, often cause blisters. […] Chemicals: Harsh chemicals like cleaning products, acids, pesticides or corrosive substances can damage your skin and cause blistering. […] Cold: Cold can be as damaging to the skin as a burn. Severe frostbite can cause blistering of the skin and permanent skin damage, says Dr. Daiza. […] Irritants: If you come into contact with an allergen, your skin may respond with a blister. Certain fragrances or products like laundry detergents can cause blistering if your skin is sensitive to them, explains Dr. Daiza. Poison ivy or poison oak also cause blisters in many people.

• #7 Friction blisters. Pathophysiology, prevention and treatment – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8570998/

  Blisters occur frequently, especially in vigorously active populations. Studies using respective rubbing techniques show that blisters result from frictional forces that mechanically separate epidermal cells at level of the stratum spinosum. […] The magnitude of frictional forces (Ff) and the number of times that an object cycles across the skin determine the probability of blister development – the higher the Ff, the fewer the cycles necessary to produce a blister. […] More vigorous activity and the carrying of heavy loads during locomotion both appear to increase the likelihood of foot blisters. […] Recent exposure of the skin to repeated low intensity Ff results in a number of adaptations including cellular proliferation and epidermal thickening, which may reduce the likelihood of blisters.

  https://www.msdmanuals.com/home/skin-disorders/blistering-diseases/overview-of-blistering-disorders

  A blister (bulla, or, when small, a vesicle) is a bubble of fluid that forms beneath a thin layer of dead skin. Blisters most commonly form in response to a specific injury, such as a burn or irritation, and usually involve only the topmost layers of skin. Many diseases and injuries can cause blistering, but 3 autoimmune diseases are among the most serious: Bullous pemphigoid, Dermatitis herpetiformis, Pemphigus vulgaris. In an autoimmune disorder, the body’s immune system, which normally protects the body against foreign invaders, mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues—in this case, the skin. Other autoimmune blistering disorders include Mucous membrane pemphigoid, Pemphigoid gestationis, Epidermolysis bullosa, Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, Linear immunoglobulin A disease, Pemphigus foliaceous. Other blistering disorders include staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, severe cellulitis, and certain drug rashes.

• #33 Bullous (and vesicular) disorders – an overview

  https://www.pcds.org.uk/clinical-guidance/bullous-disorders-an-overview

  There are many dermatological conditions that can cause vesicles and bullae (blisters). In some of these conditions, eg the immunobullous disorders, the bullae are the primary feature, in others, eg leg oedema, the bullae are a secondary phenomenon. […] While there are many causes of vesicles and bullae, it is the immunobullous conditions, and epidermolysis bullosa, which commonly provoke most interest due to their dramatic impact on the patient and their relatives. […] These are characterised by pathogenic autoantibodies directed at target antigens whose function is either cell-to-cell adhesion within the epidermis or adhesion of stratified squamous epithelium to dermis or mesenchyme.

• #34 Fracture Blisters

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3088393/

  Fracture blisters are hypothesized to result from large strains applied to the skin during the initial fracture deformation, causing a cleavage injury at the dermo-epidermal junction. […] The blister formation is proposed to result from the increased interstitial pressure of post-traumatic edema, which acts to decrease cohesion between epidermal cells and facilitate fluid transport into a blister cavity. Venous stasis due to thrombosis of injured vessels and fragile lymphatics also contribute to local tissue hypoxia leading to epidermal necrosis and blister formation. […] Risk factors for development of fracture blisters include anatomical sites with thinner skin without the underlying protection of muscle or adipose (ankle, wrist, elbow, foot, and distal tibia) and any conditions that predispose to poor wound healing, such as peripheral vascular disease, collagen vascular disease, hypertension, smoking, alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, and lymphatic obstruction.

  Friction is a fundamental factor to the cause of foot blisters, but is more counterintuitive than one might expect. […] In the case of foot blisters, its the first definition that the majority of us see in our minds eye when we think heat-moisture-friction. However, its the second definition of friction that we should be thinking of the resistance to movement. […] A low friction scenario is one where there is less resistance to movement so that things rub more. This is how lubricants (and other friction-reducing strategies) prevent blisters. Rubbing does not cause foot blisters. […] High friction levels make things stick together for longer an increased resistance to movement.

  Management is the most controversial at this point. Some authors advocate leaving blisters intact and awaiting resolution prior to surgical stabilization. Others recommend early surgical correction to prevent blister formation, and if blisters are already present, then to incise without regard to blister location even if the incision would be through a blister. […] While consensus among these authors has not been reached, it is clear that the presence of fracture blisters complicates and delays definitive repair. […] Fracture blisters are an uncommon occurrence in patients suffering acute fractures, occurring in anatomical sites where the skin adheres tightly with little soft tissue between the skin and underlying bone. Localized tissue hypoxia and cleavage injury are the main mechanisms at work, and the injury resembles the changes consistent with a second-degree burn rather than a friction blister. […] Blisters are likely best left intact to preserve the sterile environment. If possible, early surgical intervention should be accomplished to prevent blister formation, but if already present, blisters should be allowed to resolve prior to surgery.
