What Causes Blisters On Fingers?
Hi my 22month old son has a random blister on the tip of his middle finger he didnt eat anything out of the ordinary. Apart from it was quite warm yesterday he still has the blister. We went out shopping yesterday and he was fine only until half an hour into our shopping i saw notice the blister.The only thing i can think of that he had for the first time was literally one sip of my mongo shake.Please help just alittle worried and is there anything that i can apply on it?

Hi
the best thing to do with a blister is to leave it alone. Do not try to pop it and once it pops do not try to remove the hanging skin flap as that is what helps it heal sooner. As for the cause, children do a lot of things that can cause blisters like touching hot objects, playing with objects that can cause friction blisters, and so on. As long as you do not see more blisters on his body in the days to come, there is nothing to worry about.
Best wishes
