Types of Bite Blisters

Insect Bites
People who are sensitive to insect bites can develop fluid filled blisters called bullae or circular areas filled with fluid around the bite called weals.

Spider Bites
One to two days after being bitten by a spider a pustule or blister can form on top of the area. In a small number of cases a bite from a brown recluse spider can cause swelling or blistering that leads to the development of a dark scab called an eschar that covers the blister for around a week after you have been bitten. It is important to have such bites inspected by your doctor as these ulcerated areas may continue to grow if they are not treated.

Bee Stings
Bees, hornets, wasps or yellow jackets cause a painful sting that is commonly associated with these types of reactions. Wasps, hornets or bee stings will cause swelling, redness, itching and warmth immediately after the incident. You may also experience a blister in this area

Tick Bites
Tick bites can cause a red lump to appear where you were bitten but this is not usually painful. If the bite is severe you may experience bruising, itchiness, swelling or blistering near the bite area.

Mites
Mites cause bumps to appear on the skin which may be accompanied by blistering or itchiness.
