      Blister – Whenever our skin gets damaged by any sort of friction, heat, cold or any harsh treatment a blister is formed. Some amount water is filled underneath the top layer of affected areas of skin. Its a smart way our body system tries to prevent further damage to skin.
      Pimples – We have sebaceous glands or oil glands deep in our skin. They always release/secrete sebum or oil to the outer surface of skin through pores. If these glands become hyperactive, the pores may get blocked and get infected with bacteria which cause pimples to be formed.
      Moles – Moles are of many different types. In general, if the dividing cells of skin do not spread out as they normally do, they may form a cluster of cells at one spot which leads to formation of a mole.
