Blisters on nose

by MickelBeth, Jul 19, 2001 12:00AM
Usually I get blisters on my nose when I am out in the sun and my nose gets sunburnt, but I have not been out in the sun at all lately and a couple of days ago I noticed several blisters on my nose. They look the same, as if I was sun burnt, but I don't understand why.  Could you, perhaps, tell me what may cause this and suggest some type of treatment?

I really can't.  Unless there has been some form of trauma, or else you had ultraviolet exposure from sun going through the clouds, or you are interpreting some other skin change as a blister.  If you're unsure, show a physician when they're fresh.  But any non-sun "blisters" aren't likely to produce damage or other ill-effects.

Best.
