Water Blister

[sendmenews]

For atleast the past month, I have one reoccuring water blister that occurs in the same exact spot.  It is in the back of my mouth diagonal from my tonsil on the side/roof of mouth.  Initially I would pop it to let the water out, but two days later it always came back.  So I left it alone.  It starts small, grows and grows as it fills with water, and eventually minimizes on its own, but if I remove the skin once it has minimized it bleeds very minorly.  Then within days it is back again.  It is driving me nuts b/c it is just an awkward feeling.  I don't really have any other symptoms except that for the past month of so I have also been physically weaker for some odd reason.  I go to the gym three times a week to lift weights and for the past month, I have struggled emmensly to lift the same weights that I have lifted for months.  Plus I am often sore afterwards which prior to this past month I am never sore after the gym.  I have no idea if its related but the timing coincides.  I was hope that a doctor or person might be able to chime in with some advice/possible causes and if I what type of physician I ought to see for this.  I am also not sure if this is posted in the right spot, so if its not feel free to let me know.  Thanks.

Yay for this post!! I've had these for probably about four years here and there. The last three months they have got worse and I always have at least one, up to three. They start like a tiny hard pimple and then become a dome like water blister that pops by itself. Lately the area aches a bit, I think that's been from my tongue playing with it as can feel so annoying. When I first googled it it came up as possibly aids, cancer or herpes! Eek! I freaked out and went to my doctor who swabbed it and its all fine, nothing came back bad. I wish I knew how to get rid of it!! I think it's worse when I'm run down? Live very busy life with three littlies. My dads a dermatologist and he has no idea what they are. I seem to wake up with them, haven't noticed the eating correlation? I'll go to sleep with nothing and wake with one or two. Annoying but so nice to know there are lots of you and that we aren't all dying!!! Ha ha ha!!

Yup, I've got them too. My dentist had no idea what it was but I am really pleased after reading all of these posts. Mine seem to pop up most when I eat something cold. Small, painless blisters in the back of my mouth. I pop them and then everything is fine.

Thank goodness for this blog!! Same as everyone else. Mine is way in the back of my throat left side near the tonsils. It is a bit aggravating and has a strange feel to it. Mine has not changed size in about a week. I agree with the comment 'a popcorn kernel' in the back of your throat. I do have a lot of sinus issues and nasal drip. And according to the dentist, I also have an abundance of saliva. Can't tell you how relieved I feel to know so many others have it and what causes it most likely. And we are going live people! I thought like some of you might have, oh no, cancer. Never thought STD or herpes because in my case, that is not a possibility. I did consider a dental cause of some sort. A tooth going back maybe. But I will notice it less now that I don't have attach 'freaking out' to the little clear lump in my throat. Thanks!

I've had the EXACT same thing...i've done it off and on before, but this time it keeps coming back and i've had it for a couple of weeks now.  So glad to hear it's probably a saliva duct.  My doctor told me a year ago i may have a blocked one because of the small pebble sized knot under my chin on the left side.  Thanks for posting everyone, it helps me breathe easier :)

I have been having this exact issue for a few months now, pretty much every other day and always in the exact same location.  It feels like a piece of food is lodged into the right side of the soft palate on the top of my mouth...I hate that feeling.  I usually am able to pop or dislodge whatever it is with my finger, but it always, ALWAYS comes back.  It started about six months ago, but I cannot remember any sort of burns or anything that would've caused it.  I hope it stops doing this at some point...I have to excuse myself after meals to get rid of this thing due to how irritating it feels.  It doesn't hurt...it's just extremely annoying.  :-(
