Edema blister
(Redirected from Hydrostatic bulla)
Edema Blister is a medical condition characterized by the formation of fluid-filled blisters on the skin due to swelling (Edema). These blisters are typically caused by an injury, infection, or other medical conditions that cause fluid to build up in the skin layers.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Edema blisters can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Injury: Physical trauma to the skin can cause fluid to build up in the skin layers, leading to the formation of blisters.
- Infection: Certain types of infections can cause inflammation and fluid buildup in the skin.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and liver disease, can cause fluid to build up in the body, leading to edema and the formation of blisters.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The primary symptom of an edema blister is a fluid-filled blister on the skin. Other symptoms may include:
- Swelling: The area around the blister may be swollen.
- Pain: The blister and surrounding area may be painful.
- Redness: The skin around the blister may be red and inflamed.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for edema blisters typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the fluid buildup. This may include:
- Medication: Diuretics and other medications may be used to help reduce fluid buildup in the body.
- Lifestyle changes: Dietary changes and exercise may be recommended to help manage conditions that cause fluid buildup.
- Medical procedures: In some cases, medical procedures may be necessary to treat the underlying cause of the edema.
