Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: An aged family member developed a large blood blister within an hour after a fall. It was measured to be approximately 10 by 10 centimeters and was 3 centimeters in height. My understanding is that regular blisters should be left alone and not “popped.” Is this the case with a large hematoma or blood blister?
