Bubbles on the body, similar to blisters, occur under the influence of a variety of factors. The process itself is called bullous dermatitis - this is a disease when bubbles( or bulls) appear against the background of reddening of the skin. It is her inflammation that becomes the main cause of the development of the symptom. So, what are bullae, watery blisters, on the body and face skin of an adult or child, how to treat such a phenomenon?
What are bullets
Bullami refers to damage or some pouch under the skin, bounded by the epidermis and filled with erosive fluid. Similarity they have with other skin rashes - vesicles and blisters. The main difference is only in the amount of bulls. They, by the way, reach not less than 1 cm in diameter. Even larger is the size of the bladder in case of frostbite or burns.
The bulla itself consists of several specific layers:
- Upper skin. The thinnest part, very often through the septum can be seen serous fluid. Sometimes we call the layer a "cover".
- Cavity with liquid.
- A deep layer of skin that forms the "bottom" of the bladder.
Bulls can occur on a wide variety of skin areas. For contact dermatitis is characterized by the location of blisters between the dermis and the epidermis, and with pemphigus they are in the depth of the epidermis.

Their classification
Bullous dermatitis can be divided into several categories:
- vesicular,
- herpetiform,
- allergic,
- hemorrhagic.
About what are the diagnosis and treatment of bullae, water blisters on the body of an adult and a child, we will tell below.

Detection of bubbles on the body
It is possible to determine the bullet even at first glance, for this it is not necessary to be a specialist in the medical field. The skin at the site of injury is raised by serous fluid. Sometimes, if the cause of its formation is trauma, there are impurities inside the blood. The bladder itself is smooth, rises above the skin. If there is an autopsy, then there will be an erosive surface in place of it. A little later, it will cover with a crust and will gradually heal.
Some symptoms depend solely on the cause of dermatitis. Thus, each form has its own characteristic list of features:
- In acrodermatitis, bullae develop on the extremities( distal), on the lips, at the mouth or eyes.
- Solar burn. In the affected area, severe pain, noticeable erythema, increased local skin temperature. After the restoration of the skin on it with a high degree of probability will remain the area of hyperpigmentation.
- Allergy. Symptom is supplemented by itching, weakness.
- In case of a burn, the bladder has an uneven surface( wrinkled).It itself has a large size.
- Pemphigus. For a long period the process proceeds chronically and the main symptom is frequent relapses.
- Frostbite. There is a spasm of blood vessels, but in the afterwards they restore their work and this leads to burning, redness. The bulls themselves are "dull", they contain an admixture of blood. The place of the injury hurts.
- Contact dermatitis. Bubbles of this species appear together with vesicles.
- Dermatitis arising from contact with plants is limited only by the area of the body with which they are in contact.
With bullous dermatitis against a background of diabetes, the blisters are located on the limbs. If any chemical reagent became the cause, then at first they appear only on that part of the skin that directly contacted it. After a certain period, the process is able to take a generalized character. With hereditary form of dermatitis, blisters can occur even with minor injuries of the skin.
About the disease, the symptom of which may be bulls, we will tell below.

Methods for dealing with the symptom
Traditional treatment for
Bulls that have already appeared can not be opened. Perhaps they are unpleasant, but they do not bring much discomfort, but the liquid formed in them acts as a kind of protection against infection. Sometimes bacteria penetrate the skin, for example, if it has been slightly injured. It can be recognized by the turbidity of the liquid. Such a bull is best opened, processed and bandaged. However, it is better not to do it yourself, but only with the help of a doctor. This is especially important if the patient has a blood circulation problem or is suffering from diabetes. In such cases, the healing takes longer and the risk of infection is higher.
- The healing of single bulls caused by ordinary friction or trauma occurs naturally, but if the bull gives discomfort, it is permissible to apply a bandage. It should not be too pressing. Good for bandage gauze, which will allow breathing the skin. It is difficult to apply a bandage only with a bleeding blister, in order to stop further bleeding.
- Can be treated at home as a normal antiseptic. If dirt enters the liquid of the bulls, all tools must be sterile, otherwise it is prohibited to clean it. The wound itself is washed with alcohol and bandaged. Opening of blisters is carried out in such a way that their bottom is not exposed. Only the largest of them are subject to this procedure.
- It is important to choose a special therapy to treat the underlying pathology that caused the appearance of bullae. In this case, a whole examination and consultation with an infectious disease specialist, a surgeon, a pediatrician, an allergist, a dermatologist may be required. If you do not act on the root cause, the symptom will appear constantly. Sometimes to get rid of bullous dermatitis resort to hormone therapy.

- Sedatives.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Antihistamine tablets.
- Immunomodulators.
- Antibacterial agents.
- Cytotoxic drugs.
The category of physiotherapeutic practices is best suited for electric current, magnetotherapy, laser, ultrasound therapy. If the hereditary factor plays a big role, then necessarily use various hormonal ointments with fluoride, Prednisolone, Fukortzin and other means.
