here is the image. there is a blister inside of the skin about the size of a quarter. it does not hurt but it is very dark and had gotten bigger.
Brief Answer:
Blister will subside on its own
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
I have not yet been able to see the picture
However, the vlisywr formation is due to friction on skin from fall. It is nothing to be worried. The blister will drain out or shrink on its own in about a week.
Make.sure that you don't burst the blister. Apply Neosporin ointment to avoid infection. Nothing more need to be done.
If you notice worsening pain, redness and blister turns yellow, then it is indicative of infection. In which case, follow up nearest GP to receive prescription for antibiotics.
