A blister is a small pocket of fluid within the upper layers of the skin, typically caused by forceful rubbing friction, burning, freezing, chemical exposure or infection. Most blisters are filled with a clear fluid called serum plasma or pus

Less aggressive rubbing over long periods of time may cause calluses to form rather than a blister. Both blisters and calluses can lead to more serious complications, such as foot ulceration , particularly when sensation or circulation is impaired


Some chemical warfare agents, known as blister agents or vesicants, cause large, painful blisters wherever they contact skin; an example is mustard gas

Oars used for competitive rowing are known for causing frequent blisters on the hands of oarsmen. Weightlifters are also prone to blisters as are gymnasts from the friction developed by the rubbing against the bars

Friction blisters are caused by excess shear stress between the surface of the skin and the body. The strata (a thin layer) of skin around the Stratum lucidum is most susceptible to shear. As the Stratum lucidum tears away from the connecting tissues below, plasma from the cells diffuses
