Hello XXXX,

Thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic.
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .

I have gone through your query and understand your concern . As far as blood blister near extraction site is concerned it can be due to infection in the extraction socket or other possibility is left out root piece in extraction socket leading to flaring up infection .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and investigation Intra oral periapical radiograph to rule out the cause of blister formation so that treatment plan accordingly . You can also send me scanned copy of xray so that i can evaluate it and advise you to proceed towards the treatment .
Meantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day . Maintain good oral hygiene .

Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
