How Can A Fluid Filled Blister On The Skin Be Treated?

Hello. My daughter fell from her bike and got road rash that healed beautifully with the exception of a single recurring blister. Her accident was about a month ago. The blister has only clear fluid in it, and there is no indication that she has an infection - no fever, no puss, no redness. Why won t the blister heal?

Hi.
As per your case history of blister, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
