Resilient: symptoms, causes, to treatment options

Definition

Is it resilient?

Resilience is a blister-like condition that appears on the skin, in the form of bubbles containing fluid of varying sizes. These blisters range in size from as small as a pinhead to a diameter of more than 1 cm.

This condition usually forms on the heels, soles of the feet, but can also form in the hands when cycling without gloves. Often times, someone is exposed to resilience when wearing shoes that are too small or not wearing socks when wearing shoes.

How common is this condition?

Everyone can be exposed to resilience, especially athletes. These symptoms can be over a variety of ages. You can limit your exposure to these symptoms by reducing risk factors. Please consult your doctor for more information.

Signs & symptoms

What are the signs and symptoms of resilience?

The most common signs and symptoms of resilient skin are redness and a burning sensation, which is accompanied by pain in the skin.

There may be other symptoms that were not mentioned. If you have any questions about their side effects, please consult your doctor.

When should I see a doctor?

Most skin blisters heal on their own after 3-7 days without treatment. However, see a doctor if you notice symptoms such as:

• Your skin blisters are very painful.
• The skin blisters keep coming back.
• You suspect your skin blister is infected. Signs of herpes infection, the boils will have yellow or green pus, can cause pain, redness, and heat.
• Don't ignore skin blisters, as they may lead to impetigo and other complications, such as inflammation or infection of the blood cells.
• If you have skin blisters in unusual places such as on the eyelids, inside the mouth, or if the skin blisters appear after you have a sunburn, severe burns, blisters, or you believe these symptoms are an allergic reaction after exposure chemicals or other substances.

Cause

What causes resilience?

The most common cause of resilience is due to prolonged friction between clothing or sports equipment and skin. This will cause the outer skin to peel off from underneath and fill with fluid.

In addition, using certain tools that are not suitable can also cause chafing and resilience. Other factors can include clammy skin, flat feet, burns, diseases that cause resilience such as interstitial inflammation under the big toe and toes.

Quoted from Harvard Health Publishing, the following are various causes of skin blisters:

1. Irritation

Resilience can be caused by physical factors that irritate the skin, such as friction (rubbing the skin), irritating chemicals, or temperatures that are too hot or cold. Resilience can also be caused by contact dermatitis.

More on the feet can be caused by shoes that are too tight or rubbing in one specific area. Burns of all kinds, even sunburns, can also cause blisters.

2. Allergies

Allergic contact dermatitis, a form of dermatitis or eczema, can cause skin blisters. This condition is caused by an allergy to chemicals or toxins.

3. Infection

Infections that cause resilience include bullous impetigo, herpes simplex, chicken pox and shingles, and coxsackievirus.

4. Skin disease

Many skin diseases cause this condition. Examples include dermatitis herpetiformis, pemphigoid, and pemphigus. There are also inherited forms of blistering skin conditions, such as epidermolysis bullosa (where pressure or trauma usually causes skin blisters) and porphyria cutanea tarda (where sun exposure triggers skin blisters).

5. Treatment

Many drugs, such as nalidixic acid (NegGram) and furosemide (Lasix), can cause mild to resilient skin reactions. Other medications, such as doxycycline (Vibramycin), can increase your risk of sunburn and make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Risk factors

What increases my risk of resilience?

A person will be at a higher risk of getting skin blisters if:

• Scratching your skin for a long time.
• Exposure to fire, steam, or touching something hot.
• Very cold weather.
• Exposure to irritants or allergies.

In certain cases, resilience is caused by a drug reaction. If you develop skin blisters while using the medicine, seek medical attention and consult your doctor.

Not having risk factors doesn't mean you can't get sick. These factors are general and reference only. You should consult a specialist doctor for more details.

What are my treatment options for resilience?

The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, prevent more bouncy spots, and prevent the spread of infection. Small, unbreakable spots are usually painless, safe, and can be covered with a loose bandage.

To treat skin blisters, the American Academy of Dermatology Association suggests the following steps:

1. Cover it up skin blisters. Cover the elastic with a loose bandage. Put the bandage on, so that the center of the bandage is slightly raised.
2. Use pads. This method is done to protect the blisters in pressure areas, such as the bottom of the feet.
3. Do not squeeze or dry the bouncy, as this can lead to infection.
4. Keep area clean and closed. After the area is drained, wash the area with soap and water. Don't remove the elastic, as this will protect the skin as it heals.

For small blisters that have broken, use a soft bandage and spread it over the sensitive area. If resilience breaks in the open, clean the skin and apply an antiseptic cream (polymyxin B or bacitracin) or sterile ointment and a bandage.

What are the usual tests for this condition?

Your doctor will make a diagnosis based on the relationship of the skin blisters, the location of the blisters on the skin, and your medical history.

Home remedies

What are some lifestyle changes or home remedies that can be made to treat resilience?

Some of the lifestyle and home remedies that can help you deal with resilience are:

• Use chalk to keep feet dry.
• Avoid scratching or rubbing the skin that is resilient.
• Wear socks when wearing shoes.
• Use shoes that fit well and are comfortable. Take off your shoes in the afternoon or evening to rest your feet after a long day of walking. Do the same thing if you want to buy new shoes, because the shoes will adjust to the largest size of the foot, avoiding blisters.
• Avoid wearing shoes or strenuous activities until the bouncy heals.
• Massage your feet with lanolin (a fat extract from sheep's hair) every night for a month before walking or running a lot.

If you have any questions, consult your doctor for the best solution to your problem.
