Home remedy and natural treatment of Blisters

Blisters Blisters are small pockets of fluid in an upper layer of the skin caused by friction, burning or freezing. Most blisters are filled with a clear fluid called serum or plasma (blister water). Some blisters, however, are filled with blood; they are called blood blisters. A blister is a bubble of skin filled with clear fluid, ranging from pinpoint size to more than an inch in diameter. They are different than pustules, which contain thicker, yellow-white material. A blister may form when the skin has been damaged by friction or rubbing, heat, cold or chemical exposure. Fluid collects between the epidermis—the upper layer of the skin—and the layers below. This fluid cushions the tissue underneath, protecting it from further damage and allowing it to heal. 1. Keep it clean: This is especially important if your blister pops. Blisters take long enough to heal as it is. You don’t want an infection complicating things furthers, so wash your blisters gently with warm, soapy water. 2. Aloe Vera: Apply fresh aloe vera gel on the blister and allow it to dry on its own. Rinse it off with warm water. 3. Apple Cider Vinegar: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of onion paste with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Apply the mixture on the blister, allow it to dry and then rinse it off with warm water. 4. Green Tea: Steep a green tea bag in 1 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and allow it to cool. Put the moist tea bag on the blister for a few minutes. 5. Castor Oil: Mix ½ cup of white vinegar and 3 teaspoons of castor oil. Rub this solution gently on the blister several times a day for a few days.
