Question: What is the liquid stuff that fills blisters.?
Like when you pop a blister, what's the stuff inside of them.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It depends. Blood if it is a blood blister, pus if it is infected, or serum which is the part of the blood that remains after red blood cells and clotting agents have been removed, is the clear stuff that is usually in blisters.Health Question & Answer

A blister is a bubble of fluid under the skin. The clear, watery liquid inside a blister is called serum. It leaks in from neighboring tissues as a reaction to injured skin. If the blister remains unopened, serum can provide natural protection for the skin beneath it. Small blisters are called vesicles. Those larger than half an inch are called bullae. A blood blister is filled with blood, rather than serum. Health Question & Answer

A blister forms at a place where you have caused damage, as by a bad pinch or a burn. A lot of sudden changes took place there.

The walls of the tiny blood vessels close by became leaky. Some fluid leaked out of the blood to make the clear fluid that you see in most blisters. Sometimes the whole blood leaks out and collects to make a black-looking blister. Neither kind is any fun.
