Question 1

i get like blood blisters underneath my breats. how can i prevent them? or make the marks go away from previous ones?

Accepted Answer

Skin lesions: Suspect what you have are cherry angiomas, benign skin growths made of blood vessels; generally they need not be removed except for cosmetic or bleeding reasons. They can be removed by shaving off, burning off, freezing off, or laser. Their cause is unknown but they appear to be inherited. Of course, any skin lesion that changes in character, should be checked by your doc/.

Question 2

i have a small blood blister on the outer side of my big toe, how long does it take to heal and how can i prevent pain while running and walking?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On how much friction or pressure that is put on the blister. May use protective ointment and cover with dressing. Open toe shoes if possible will reduce friction and speed up healing.

Question 3

i have blood blisters or boils on my chest. they hurt especially when you touch it. i have dark spots from old ones. how do i get rid and prevent them?

Accepted Answer

Abscesses?: Abscesses, boils, small carbuncles, etc. or whatever they may be called are very tough to treat and are often caused by underlying bacterial skin infections that occur locally and can "come and go."  As you desribed, they may leave scars or marks where they were.  See a Dr. for an exam as sometimes daily antibiotic treatment for suppression may be helpful, etc.  Best wishes.

there is probably no good way to prevent them as they are genetic, but there are good treatments.  He should see a dermatologist who will help guide him.

Question 5

i accidentally popped my blood blister on my lower lip, what should i do next to prevent infection?  is it really serious if it is popped?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: Bloodblisters are common on the inside of the lip and cheek.  Your body is well equipped to handle these.  You have probably done no harm and wait a day or two and all should normalize.

Question 6

i have a rather large blood blister on my stomach area and it started bleeding so i popped it.  how can i now prevent infection?

Accepted Answer

Blood blister: Generally, blisters should not be "popped" as the area beneath them is sterile. Preventive measure for one you've broken: wash gently with warm soap & water; pat dry; apply antibiotic ointment & non-stick bandage. Watch for signs of infection: pain, increasing redness, pus. If those occur, see doc for treatment. Btw, may not have been blood blister: as we age get benign red lumps called hemangioma.
