Almost any disease known to modern medicine is directly related to changes in the structure of the skin. Most often, such changes are manifested by the appearance of a rash. This is not surprising, because human skin is the largest organ. And any pathological processes developing inside the body are immediately reflected on the skin.
For example, blisters can often appear on the back. This type of rash is characterized by a rough and dense surface. A blister is a localized formation on the surface of the epidermis that results from the development of inflammation and swelling of the upper layer of the skin.
Usually, watery blisters on the body have rounded outlines of various sizes, the elements of which rise slightly above the level of the skin. Inside, they are filled with serous fluid. They can be located in one place or cover large areas of the body at once.
Watery blisters on the back are mistaken by most people for ordinary acne and are often ignored, but in vain! Despite the fact that signs of various diseases rarely appear on the back, in certain cases it is in this area that symptoms of skin infections and various dermatological pathologies appear. Therefore, if watery blisters appear on this part of the body, you should immediately consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. And this cannot be done without identifying the reason.
Why do blisters appear on the back

Synthetics often cause body allergies. The rash is itchy, the skin is irritated. Rubbing your skin against clothing can also trigger this rash.
