BLISTER (a word found in many forms in Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Blase; it is ultimately connected with the same root as in " blow," cf. " bladder ") , a small vesicle filled with serous fluid raised on the skin by a burn, by rubbing on a hard
surface
 , as on the
hand
  in
rowing
 , or by other injury; the
term
  is also used of a similar
condition
  of the skin caused artificially, as a
counter
 -irritant in cases of inflammation, by the application of
mustard
 , of various kinds of fly (see
CANTHARIDES
 ) and of other vesicatories. Similar small swellings, filled with fluid or air, on
