hi

Has anyone had any experience with blisters and the skin? I noticed when putting Les into bed tonight that he has a blister on his stomach, absolutely no reason at all why this should be here , is it something I should be worried about or mention to doctor ?

Thanks

I would contact the doctor as a precaution but I am no expert. Better safe to get ur checked out early

I am no expert but also would advise contacting surgery even if they take a look via photo if still there this morning and more so if there is more and he is experiencing pain with it to rule out shingles

keep a very careful eye on it. Geoff started with a few blisters but it then became quite serious with lots of large blisters. It was a condition called Bullous Pemphygoid and other people with MSA have suffered with it as well. It will certainly need looking at by a doctor and if it is Pemphygoid it will need a dermatologist.

Also-Geoff did have shingles once as well. Shingles blisters are in a cluster or line and definitely only on one side of the body and they are itchy. Getting the antiviral medication early is helpful if it is shingles
