Question 1

i have a small skin bubble that can't pop on my arm that wasnt there before. had it about a year now. dangerous? should i not touch it?

Accepted Answer

Bubble : A bubble or blister caused by fluid under the skin will resolve relatively quickly . Since this area is not "healing" have a dermatologist evaluate and diagnose the area.

Question 2

what is the painful skin bubble near my fingernail?

Accepted Answer

blister: See your doctor to determine if it is just a rubbing blister or a lesion.  She will be able to remove it or biopsy it.

Question 3

i ve been getting cuts on my body recently the skin bubbles up all at once like a hive and then immediately breaks down into a cut, no blisters?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: Get in to see a dermatologist when you have one of these acute lesions for a better diagnosis and possible biopsy.

Question 4

i got a really bad sunburn, which started to peel yesterday. today i got all sweaty, which made the skin bubble up. i think it was trapped sweat.

Accepted Answer

2nd degree sun burn: If the skin is 'bubbling' like that after an intense sun exposure, then it's probably a 2nd degree burn. This is more serious than just the redness of a 'first degree' sun burn. The integrity of the skin is compromised - so you have to treat it very very carefully. If those areas become filled with pus, the pain worsens or you develop fevers or other worrisome signs- you need to see a doctor.

Question 5

how do i get rid of flaky skin? bubble bath?

Accepted Answer

No: Bubble baths are notorious for drying your skin out as the contain many chemicals.
Watch your diet, maintain good hydration with water and apply moisturizer liberally and frequently.
The best moisturizer is the one your skin likes!

Question 6

i have a blister on the side of my foot. the skin is still intact. just look like a white skin bubble?

Accepted Answer

: Was it due to heat injury, repetitive friction from ill-fitting shoes? In either case, leave it alone. If it bursts and reveals raw skin, apply triple antibiotic cream to prevent infection. You may wish to consult a podiatrist for better fitting shoes.

Question 7

i have a blood filled skin bubble on my lef big toe between the nail and skin what could this be and how do i treat it. (its not a blister) ?

Accepted Answer

Toe nail clot: What you are describing sounds most like a "subungual [underneath the nail] hematoma [clot]". This is a common injury, usually due to a bump or contusion of the toe which breaks a blood vessel under the nail. It is not a serious injury but it can be quite painful depending on the amount of blood. For severe pain, to release the blood a doctor touches a hot wire to the nail to release the blood.

Question 8

wife got burn her legs in.kitchen with boiled temp water it was just red but now.next day it become dark.skin and bubbles please tell prevention plz?

Accepted Answer

Cleanse+silvadene : It is best to se a physician. Second degree burns can become third degree burns if they get infected. Keeping them clean and moist will speed up healing to minimize healing which is usually done with cetaphil and silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) twice a day. Antibiotics are prescribed if infection is suspected. Leg elevation* gentle compression. No sun/tobacco.

Question 9

how do i stop bubbling skin from peeling?

Accepted Answer

Should get checked: Bubbling skin can be a sign of collagen vascular illness and you should see an internist possibly a dermatologist or rheumatologist. In general if it is an autoimmune or cv disorder it can be controlled
