A member asked:

When i scratch i get a hickey like bruise, and sometimes it blisters after looking that way. this is recent wondering what could cause this?

See doctor: What you described is consistent with a blistering auto-immune disorder. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an examination and may be some tests to sort it out.

I had spider vein removal a month ago. The laser burned my legs and caused blisters on both. I was assured they are superficial and will heal. My legs look horrible. How long does it usually take to heal? Is it normal to blister and bruise this long?
