A
blister is a defense mechanism of the human
body. It consists of a pool of
lymph[?] and other bodily fluids beneath the upper layers of the
skin. It may be formed in response to
burns or
friction, and helps to repair damage to the skin. If a blister is punctured, it forms an
open wound[?] and must be
bandaged[?].
