What is a "blister"?
A blister is a small, fluid-filled bump on the skin. It forms when the outer layer of the skin becomes damaged, often due to friction, burns, or irritation. The fluid inside the blister helps protect the damaged skin and promote healing. Blisters can vary in size and may be painful or itchy. They usually heal on their own within a few days as the body reabsorbs the fluid and the skin underneath repairs itself. Avoiding further irritation and keeping the blister clean can help prevent infection and promote faster healing.

Exemple
A blister is a small pocket of fluid that forms on the skin, typically caused by friction, burns, or other injuries.
Common causes of blisters include wearing ill-fitting shoes, repetitive friction from tools or sports equipment, or exposure to heat.
Blisters can vary in size and are often filled with clear fluid, though they can also contain blood or pus if infected.
In severe cases, large or infected blisters may require medical attention to prevent complications and promote healing.
To treat a blister, it's important to keep it clean, avoid popping it if possible to prevent infection, and protect it with a bandage or padding.
