Lists should be removed and their information should be better woven into the article
Quotes should be paraphrased.

Just made a few edits... "Big" versus "Large", I feel that "Large" is more encyclopaedic... Also, I don't believe a report on how the blood blister healed is -truly- necessary for the article.

Do we really need five pictures of blood blisters in this article? ~C. Hall

How To???

The first part of the Treatment section reads an awful lot like a how-to from my perspective. Does anyone else see it the same way? Elevate, epsom salts, etc. I'm not too sure it adds anything of merit to the article, but I'm also not sure on what can be done to improve this portion. Rookie Rover 12:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it does sound like a "how to" and it is hard to change, how about removing the bullet points and summarising into something like this:

"There are several popular methods used in the treatment of blood blister, these include elevating the injured area, applying padding and soaking in epsom salts."

It gives the treatments without truning it into a how toGbarnes 5 16:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely needs work. Most material is uncited and therefore of questionable accuracy. This article needs medical citations, not home-remedies.Halogenated (talk) 22:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

suppurates

According to The American Heritage® Dictionary, and other sources, "suppurate" is an intransitive verb that means, "To form or discharge pus." Its use in this article doesn't fit grammatically or denotationally. 68.19.26.188 (talk) 04:22, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs)

These may be interesting, but they should be in their own article or in the Aneurysm article. It's a totally different thing. A "see also" might be in order, but actual content about them doesn't belong in this article. 68.19.26.188 (talk) 04:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment

In the Treatment section, I think it would be useful to say whether it is appropriate or not to empty the blood blister by piercing it. I have a blood blister and came to this article to see if that is the thing to do. That is one of the first things a layman thinks of. I don't know the answer. I would have thought that that info should be in the Treatment section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.99.65.213 (talk) 22:18, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion

This article has a lot of room for expansion. Some unanswered questions I have after reading it...

How is a blood blister different than a bruise?
"blood blister-like aneurysms" is mentioned in the lead and could use a paragraph in the body
Treatment needs expansion. How many days does it take to heal? Should you pop it? Does it result in a scab?
