Infected Blister

This is the stage of blister that you need to recognise quickly, the blister would be torn off or de-roofed and a bacterial infection will have infected the wound

Roof Off Blister

Hydrocolloid dressing is the only option for this stage of blister, swab the area with saline to make sure the wound is clean and dry before applying the hydrocolloid

Roof Torn Blister

A Roof torn blister has progressed from the intact blister and the roof or the top of the blister has a tear and the fluid has leaked out, so it is no longer looks like a bubble on the skin.

Bubble Blister

Bubble Blister- the hotspot has progressed, and a fluid filled bubble on the skin that most will recognise as a blister is now visible.

Hotspot

Hot spot is the first stage of a blister. Recognising this stage can help prevent the blister progressing to the next stages of a bubble blister and a roof off blister.
