Ampoule Symptoms
In general, blisters are round or oval fluid under the skin that may be painful or itchy, or may not have symptoms. Symptoms vary depending on the cause:
* Irritation, burns and allergies: the blisters caused by friction and burns are usually painful. The blisters formed because of eczema may be accompanied by redness, severe itching and small bumps on the affected skin.
* Infections: when blisters form due to infection, the symptoms depend on the type of infection. Some examples are:
or bullous impetigo, the affected skin may become red and the blisters break easily.
or herpes simplex virus: when the herpes simplex type 1 is the cause, the tiny blisters commonly known as herpes or cold sores cheilitis. These usually appear on the lips. You may feel itching, tingling, swelling and redness in the affected skin where blisters appear. When the blisters finally burst, the fluid begins to leak and form painful sores. The herpes simplex type 2 is the most common cause of genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection (although the type 1 herpes can also cause genital herpes). Generally, the small red bumps appear in the affected area before the blisters, typically in the area of the vagina or penis, buttocks, thighs, or anus. Other symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, headache and burning during urination.
or varicella zoster virus, the virus causes chickenpox when the infection begins with diffuse rash, stinging and quickly turns into blisters that itch. Varicella zoster can also cause shingles (herpes zoster). People with shingles may experience small painful blister that usually appears as a linear pattern along the affected nerve.
o Coxsackievirus: Coxsackievirus A16 can cause a condition commonly called mouth disease Hand, foot, in which painful blisters often occur on the hands, soles of the feet or mouth.
* Skin: Polymorphic erythema typically causes blisters on the palms of the hands, forearms, soles, and mucous membrane of the eyes, nose, mouth and genitals. Other symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough and muscle aches. Autoimmune disease (also known as bullous disease because it forms large blisters) also vary in appearance. Dermatitis herpetiformis causes red bumps or blisters and itching. Pemphigoid, a rare condition that primarily affects the elderly, causing large blisters and itching, and pemphigus, a rare disease that tends to occur in middle age, causes blisters in the mouth and on the surface of the skin . Pemphigus blisters burst easily and leave painful areas.
* Drugs: reactions to drugs vary. In some cases, there is just more sensitive to sunlight, which can cause blistering sunburn if the skin is exposed to sunlight. In severe reactions, such as the NET, the blisters can affect large areas of tissue, including parts of the respiratory and digestive tract, accompanied by fever and malaise.
