Blood blister looking thing?

[ROBINCAS]

I have a what appears to be a blood blister below my neck, and above my chest. It has been there for a few weeks now and I was just hoping it would heal but it has not. When I have picked it, it bleeds a ton and appears to have a deep hole underneath it.It will then scab over but then remains a red blister appearance. When I push on it it turns white or blends into my skin color, but then the red comes back as soon as I stop. It will not go away

I recently got my nose pierced and now there is a blood blister under the nose stud. It looks terrible. What do I do? How does it heal? I took out the stud from the piercer and put in a titanium one. I thought that would help. My piercer is 18 hrs away. I got it while I was on vacation. HELP!

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be a blood blister. It is a type of blister that forms when subdermal tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the skin. Give rest to the part, apply cold compresses, soak the blister in Epsom sale and avoid its rupture. If the blister breaks, quickly rinse the area and apply an antiseptic such as neosporin. It is not recommended to break a blister because it may often lead to infection.

If the symptoms worsen or persist then please consult a dermatologist. Pyogenic granuloma has to be ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
