Blood blister: You need to keep pressure off the area. Use moleskin and cut a circle in it to put over the area. Then cut a second and third moleskin in the same way. Then the pressure will be on the moleskin and not on the blood blister. If this cdoes not relieve the symptoms, see your doctor.

SImple means: With injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area becomes red, warm, tender and with swelling. Swelling/bleeding occurs under skin layers and causes them to bulge creating a protective fluid cushion called a blister. As it heals, fluid will be resorbed or when no longer needed, the blister opens and it drains. This takes about a week. Keep it covered and protected/stay off it.
