Accepted Answer

Canker sores: Canker sores are not pleasant and can be painful and uncomfortable. Canker sore is the most common oral lesions. Individual ulcers typically last 1-2 weeks. The condition is idiopathic (the cause is not known) and recurrent aphthous ulcers are usually self-limiting.

Question 3

lump on the inside of my gum next to a wizdom tooth. its not painful, just feels like a blister full of water. acured a day ago. any thoughts ?

Accepted Answer

Two thoughts: Either an infection or a mucocele. It doesn't make sense to take any chances. See a dentist to know for sure. If it is an infection, even though it doesn't hurt now, it will soon enough and usually at the most inopportune time. If it's a mucocele, all the better. When was your last dental check-up?

Question 4

is it safe to pop a water blister?

Accepted Answer

Blisters: I would use a sterile or sterilized needle to puncture the blister to let it drain.  Then cover the spot with a good bandage for a day or two to help it stay clean.

Question 5

how can  warm salt water heal gums?

Accepted Answer

Stimulates tissue: Most likely, the high salt concentration stimulates the raw gingival tissue to create new gum tissue and cover over the inflamed tissue.  Salt water also causes bacteria to burst, thereby reducing toxic bacterial by-products from irritating the gums.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: Blisters on the gum can result from a draining abscess. Please see a local dentist for an evaluation.

Question 7

why do my bug bites have water blisters?

Accepted Answer

Bug bite blisters: May depend on the bug and your allergic reaction. Discuss with your Dr.

Question 8

is it a good idea to pop water blisters?

Accepted Answer

Protective Mechanism: With injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area becomes red, warm, tender and with swelling. Swelling occurs under skin layers and causes bulging creating a protective fluid cushion we call a blister. As the area heals, the fluid is resorbed or when no longer needed, the blister opens and the fluid drains. This takes about a week. Simple bandaids are the tx  popping causes injury.

Question 9

post scabie water blisters, what are they?

Accepted Answer

The formation of: Bump/ blisters is actually normal for scabies  these combine together to form little tunnels.

Question 10

would it be a bad idea to pop this water blister?

Accepted Answer

Protect it: An unpopped blister represents a closed sterile environment.  Yes on occasion one can become infected then it is time to open it, however the risk of infection in a dressed open wound is still higher than that of an intact blister.  The blister will gradually resolve with time.
