types of skin blistering disease
Chickenpox and Shingles Blisters. Chickenpox and shingles are both skin conditions caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Chickenpox, a common childhood disease, causes the formation of hundreds of liquid-filled blisters. These extremely itchy blisters generally turn cloudy within two days, after which they pop open and turn crusty.
Impetigo Blisters. Impetigo is a fairly common skin infection caused by bacteria, usually streptococcus, staphylococcus or Methicillin-resistant staph aureus, also known as MRSA. The University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) reports that impetigo symptoms include developing one or several pus-filled blisters.
