Background: The development of bullae accompanying acute oedema is a commonly observed clinical sign but has been rarely reported in the literature.
Objectives: To document the clinical features and increase awareness of this entity.
Methods: Retrospective case note review of 13 inpatient consultation cases seen in two dermatology departments.
Results: Oedema blisters appear to be related to the speed of development rather than the degree of oedema, and respond rapidly to the reduction of the underlying oedema.
Conclusions: Recognition of oedema blisters is important as they respond quickly and completely to treatment of the underlying oedema.
