Bullae
What is Bullae? Bullae are fluid-filled sacs or lesions that form when fluid is trapped under a thin layer of the skin. These sacs are larger than 0.5 centimeters (5 millimeters) in diameter; smaller blisters are called vesicles. They are often raised with clear fluid inside but can also contain milky liquid if infected or blood resulting from trauma.
What are the symptoms of Bullae?
Symptoms of bullae include:
- Slightly raised skin in the affected area.
- Clear, milky, or bloody fluid inside the blister.
- Pain, especially if the bullae is restricting movement.
- Possible fever or reactions to medications requiring immediate medical attention.
How is it treated?
The treatment for bullae varies depending on the severity and cause. Minor bullae often heal on their own. Home remedies, over-the-counter topical agents, and pain relievers may relieve discomfort and aid healing.
In more severe cases, the bullae may need to be to relieve discomfort and pain or treat infection. A trained medical professional should carry out this process to lower the risk of further complications.
