knowledge is power.

how blisters are formed:
blisters occur when the epidermis and the dermis separate. this separation occurs when the skin is exposed to high amounts of heat or friction. the proteins holding the epidermis to the dermis are damaged and become incapable of holding the two layers of skin together.

did you know that people use to get skin grafts from pigs?
or that a freckle is just overproduction of melanin in that area?

i know, i know... biology is awesome.
