    Blister
    A `blister` or `bulla` is a defense mechanism of the human body. When the outer (epidermis) layer of the skin separates from the fibre layer (dermis), a pool of lymph and other bodily fluids collect between these layers while the skin re-grows from underneath. If a blister is associated with sub-dermal bleeding it will partially fill with blood, forming a blood blister.
