What Causes Water Filled Blisters On Knees Of A Child?
My four year old daughter has a few water filled blisters by her knees. They have come on suddenly and don t seem to cause her my pain. She plays outside a lot and we live next to a field, I am thinking maybe she got into some type of weed. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello. I just read through your question.
The blisters could have been caused by abrasions sustained while playing, bug bites while outside or even inside, or just from breakage of skin while scratching the knee. As long as they remain non painful, there is not much to do other than warm compresses. Warm compresses will speed up the healing process. If the blisters open and fluid leaks out, just make sure they stay clean so as to avoid infection.
