For the packaging type, see
Blister pack. For the cancelled television series, see
Blister (TV series). A blister or bulla is a defense mechanism of the human
body. When the outer (epidermis) layer of the skin separates from the fibre layer (dermis), a pool of
lymph and other
bodily fluids collect between these layers while the skin re-grows from underneath. Blisters can be caused by chemical or physical injury. An example of chemical injury would be an allergic reaction. Physical injury can be caused by heat, frostbite, or friction.
