Patient's question:
A five-year-old child got a blister on their finger yesterday, which has grown today and is translucent, feeling hard to the touch. It's not as thin as a burn, a bit painful, and there was no burn or anything they touched.Doctor's answer:
After reading your description of the issue, this situation could be caused by skin friction, leading to blisters. Smaller blisters generally resolve on their own or burst naturally. Larger blisters, due to high tension, can be disinfected and drained with a sterile needle, which should resolve the issue. For your case, I recommend seeking a doctor to drain the blister. Pay close attention and monitor carefully. Encourage your child to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate vitamin intake for digestion.
