Why Do I Have An Unusually Large Blister As A Result Of Freezing A Large Spot At The Dermatologist's Office?

Posted on Mon, 4 Apr 2022

Question: I have an unusually large blister as a result of freezing a large spot at the dermatologist's office on Monday. This blister is at least 3/8" high and 1/2" across, filled with liquid. It hurts when I bump it, feels better when I put a Band-Aid and ointment on it. It looks fragile. How should I treat it?
