Explanation

Blisters are small pockets of fluid that form on the skin, usually as a reaction to friction, burning, freezing, or infection. They can be filled with pus, blood, or a clear fluid called serum. Blisters can be painful or itchy, and they usually appear where the skin is thin, such as on the hands and feet. They are the body's way of protecting and cushioning the layers of skin below the surface.
