Blood blisters are also known as puncture blisters or blood ulcers. They are caused when a blood vessel is irritated, damaged or burst and bleeding occur. The blood flows in the form of a clot that forms under the skin and forms into a blister that can be painful to the touch. In some cases, blood may be visible in the blister as well.
The location of the blister is not always important. In fact, a blister can form at any location of the body. The location is also not normally important when treating the blister itself. It may be caused by a cut or scrape, infection or injury. Many times, a blister will heal on its own.
Blood blisters can cause scarring if not treated quickly. This can cause further injury and lead to more bleeding. Blood blisters can be treated with over-the-counter antiseptic creams and ointments. These should be applied to the blisters several times a day and left to dry before covering with plastic wrap or other material to prevent spreading.
Some people recommend soaking the blister in warm salt water (sodium bicarbonate) for several days. This helps to relieve the pain and irritation caused by the blister and also reduces scarring.
The surgeon may recommend surgical removal of the blister if they detect that it is cancerous. Although many types of cancers will not respond to traditional methods of treatment, surgeons may remove a portion of the skin from the top to treat the cancer. If this is done on an area such as a neck or leg, scarring will often be more noticeable.
