Possible causes of watery pimples
Pimples with liquid inside can be symptoms of various diseases, which only a doctor can reliably determine.
This is what small watery pimples on the body look like
For example, they may indicate the presence of prickly heat or allergic dermatitis. Since a rash of any nature indicates a malfunction of any body system, water formations should also not be excluded from the list of such “telling” symptoms. With prickly heat, the rashes are localized on the bends of the limbs and on the abdomen.
Watery pimples on the face are often symptoms of herpes, dyshidrosis or molluscum contagiosum. Their appearance in the circumlabial area often indicates the activation of the herpes virus in the body. There is no point in fighting such symptoms if you do not fight the virus itself. To combat a herpes infection, special treatment prescribed by a doctor is required.
If rashes filled with clear liquid appear, then the cause may be an infectious disease such as molluscum contagiosum. In this case, watery pimples cover the fingers. With infectious dyshidrosis, they can be observed in various parts of the body. Given these circumstances, it is impossible to determine which disease causes the rash without a thorough medical examination.
In children, water pimples are mainly a symptom of chickenpox (chickenpox). As you know, the disease has almost no consequences for a child. Adults who had chickenpox as children need not worry. However, if an adult gets chickenpox for the first time, it is advisable to consult a doctor. This precaution is explained by the fact that the older a person is, the more severely he suffers from chickenpox. There are even cases of death.
Experts explain the appearance of watery pimples all over the body or in a specific place by an unfavorable combination of the state of the body and the influence of external causes on it. So, for example, they can be observed in allergies to animal fluff and hair, food, medications, dust, flowering plants.
Rashes of this nature can also be triggered by unfavorable weather conditions. Especially irritants from the environment “help” the internal state of the body to manifest negative symptoms in the form of watery rashes in the following cases: with impaired functioning of the thyroid gland, with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, with diabetes.
In addition, there are people with a genetic predisposition to similar body reactions to external influences. The combination of external irritants and the resulting psycho-emotional trauma also provokes the formation of a rash with liquid. As you know, stressful situations often lead to the activation of various diseases. Therefore, they can also cause the described symptom.
If small pimples form on the forearms or hands of an adult, then this is most likely idiopathic eczema. With this disease in children, rashes can be observed on the face, arms, legs and buttocks. They itch quite strongly, burst after a short time, after which crusts form.
What to do
If small watery pimples on the face do not appear after shaving or applying previously unused cosmetics, especially in the area of the nasolabial triangle, you should immediately consult a doctor. Incorrect independent actions can only aggravate the problem.
Symptomatic treatment
Even if the rash is infectious in nature, or a symptom of a severe allergy or autoimmune disease, itching and pain must be relieved. Otherwise, a person will constantly scratch pimples, and they will turn into wounds or ulcers.
Therefore, along with the main course of treatment, the following is often prescribed:
- Analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs for internal use: Ibuprofen, Nimesulide, etc.
- Means for external disinfection of bubbles: brilliant green, potassium permanganate solution, Castellani liquid, etc.
- Antihistamines to relieve itching and swelling: Loratadine, Suprastin, Cetirizine, etc.
- Gels and lotions with a cooling and soothing effect: balm “Golden Star”, “Rescuer”, etc.
Treatment of watery rashes
Watery pimples on the body, which quickly form and disappear, are most often localized on the fingers and hands. The main cause of formation is an allergic reaction to an external irritant. They go away when contact with the allergen stops. But the reason is not always so harmless. Sometimes watery rashes indicate serious problems occurring inside the body. Treatment with external drugs may not be enough.
Water pimples may indicate infectious diseases such as chicken pox, herpes, shingles, measles, scabies, and rubella. Blisters can appear on the skin in any part of the body. The listed infectious pathologies are accompanied by an increase in body temperature and sometimes severe pain and itching.
Red boils and acne, which are very itchy and localized on the hands, can be the cause of subcutaneous (molluscum contagiosum), also a viral disease. Blisters formed by the herpes virus, transmitted through contact with a sick person, can be located on any part of the body, but most often affect the corners of the mouth.
Rashes containing clear liquid are also caused by staphylococcus. It lives in the skin. The vital activity of pathogenic microorganisms provokes small bubbles. They burst, and a wound appears in this place. The liquid does not cease to be released; they are also called weeping ones. If left untreated, the affected area grows.
Watery rashes may indicate scabies. This is a serious and highly contagious disease. The provoking factor is a microscopic parasitic tick. Spreads rapidly through person-to-person contact. When examining acne with fluid, the doctor tries to rule out this disease first. Typical clinical picture:
- flaky skin with wet ulcers (the areas between the fingers are most susceptible to rashes);
- severe itching, which intensifies during water procedures and at night;
- scabies - the presence of gray thin lines leading to blisters that quickly open.
Watery pimples on the face and other parts of the body can form when the immune system begins to fight its own cells. Autoimmune diseases include:
- Pemphigus is a rare disease that is fatal. The main symptom is the formation of numerous watery blisters on the oral mucosa and throughout the body. Over time, ulcers form on the affected areas.
- Bullous pemphigoid - the disease affects adults and older people. The characteristic clinical picture is tense blisters filled with white liquid.
- Dermatitis herpetiformis (Dühring's disease) is localized on the elbows and knees, and then affects the buttocks, back, and back of the head. The affected areas of the skin become covered with blisters. Other symptoms are sleep disturbances, increased body temperature, depression, and disorders of the digestive system.
Other reasons
Small watery pimples can form for many other reasons. Let's consider the main ones:
- Allergic manifestations. After consumption or contact with an external irritant, a person may develop water pimples on the body, which will soon go away. The body's natural reaction to an allergen.
- Hormonal disorders are one of the most common problems that cause various rashes to form on the human body. Hormonal levels also regulate the functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands.
- Miliaria – most often occurs in newborns and young children. Develops due to regular overheating and close contact with clothing. Crystalline prickly heat does not cause discomfort. However, the rashes open up on their own, and in their place a wound forms, into which infection can penetrate. Miliaria in adults is a less common condition. Accompanied by the formation of flesh-colored bubbles.
- Dyshidrosis. Multiple watery and itchy blisters form, usually on the palms and fingers. Also called dyshidrotic eczema.
As soon as watery pimples are discovered, you need to rush to the hospital. If you try to dry them using a solution of manganese or some other folk remedies, you can only cause harm to yourself. In some cases, with this effect, small pimples increase in size and form large blisters filled with liquid. At the same time, the area of their localization increases.
First of all, the specialist determines the cause of the rash. To do this, he prescribes various tests. Based on their results, the doctor prescribes the necessary treatment. Watery pimples, depending on the cause of their formation, can be treated with a variety of ointments and tablets. In most cases, a special diet and proper lifestyle are required. Regarding nutrition, you should know that vegetables and fruits are healthy, and smoked and fried foods are harmful under these circumstances.
Clear pimples may be the result of an allergy. If the doctor confirms this, then antihistamines are prescribed for treatment.
If transparent formations on the skin are a symptom of prickly heat, then it is recommended to pay special attention to clothing. So, the fabrics from which it is made must have a light and breathable structure. This rule must be observed especially during the hot season. To avoid heat rash, experts advise keeping large areas of the body exposed. Constantly wearing jeans can cause the rash to spread over almost the entire body area.
If the cause of watery rashes is allergic reactions, a different treatment is selected. Since pimples often itch, to reduce the unpleasant sensations of itching and burning, patients are prescribed antihistamines, valerian tincture and vitamins. Of the ointments, those that contain an antibiotic and a corticosteroid are recommended. This could be, for example, Hyoxysone ointment. You can also combat itchy rashes with cold lotions or compresses with tannin.
Water pimples on the face and body can also appear in pregnant women. As a result of the restructuring of the body, a decrease in immunity occurs, which in turn leads to complex forms of toxicosis, one of the manifestations of which are bubbles with liquid. They cause a lot of inconvenience: they itch, impair sleep, and make women irritable. You can get rid of these dermatoses by taking probiotics and sorbents. Diet is required.

The majority of ointments recommended for getting rid of fluid blisters contain antibiotics and corticosteroids. They are able to suppress various allergic reactions well. In addition, they relieve inflammation, reduce irritation, relieve itching and pain.
Rashes in children
Watery pimples in a child can form due to various reasons. In any case, parents should show their baby to a doctor to prevent the infection from developing.
In the first months after birth, infants may develop blisters that are almost transparent. These are milia on the skin - they are formed due to blockage of the sebaceous glands and the adaptation of the newborn’s skin to environmental conditions. In such a situation, nothing should be done; the rash is completely harmless and will go away on its own. Other causes of rash include:
- allergic reactions, when a watery rash is located on the face, cheeks, folds of the arms and neck;
- skin dermatitis – it usually forms in the diaper area under the influence of constant irritation from waste products;
- chickenpox - the first blisters of a viral infection are localized on the neck, face and abdomen;
Folk remedies to help
After treating a pimple with aloe, you can dry it in this way
In some cases, traditional medicine recipes help relieve the discomfort of watery acne. To prevent rashes from itching, you can use aloe juice. Its effect is quite gentle, so this remedy is often used. It is necessary to squeeze the juice from the leaves of the aloe plant and carefully treat the problem areas with it. Aloe juice relieves inflammation and helps dry out blisters.
You can effectively dry watery pimples using alcohol-based products. These can be tinctures of different herbs. They dry out, but sometimes cause a burning sensation on the skin.

Folk remedies
Water pimple on the face and body can be treated with traditional medicine recipes:
- Vegetable oils. Apricot, almond, and peach oils are used to treat acne. They lubricate inflammation. It is necessary to use base oils rather than essential oils, since the former are aggressive.
- Tea tree oil. For therapy it is used pointwise. To treat large surfaces, concentrated oil is mixed with olive oil in a ratio of 1:10. The affected areas are treated 2-3 times a day.
Let's consider recommendations that allow you to quickly overcome water pimples on the body that are not caused by an infectious or autoimmune disease:
- In order not to damage the acne, you need to treat it with an antiseptic (Fukortsin, Zelenka), then apply an antibiotic (Levomekol works well), and apply a bandage.

If watery pimples form, it is recommended not to self-medicate, but to go to the hospital. Timely, competent treatment is the key to a quick recovery.
Conclusion
Pimples are quite a nasty thing, and can be even worse when they are filled with fluid. Although such fluid can represent other components besides pus, namely bacteria, tissue serum and white blood cells, it is important to know exactly what it is and how to deal with it fight.
In most cases, you will see improvement in the appearance of such acne after you start using some of the home remedies for acne such as honey, apple cider vinegar and aloe vera. If you do not find any relief after such home treatments and the acne symptoms persist or even worsen , it is recommended to stop everything you are doing and consult with your doctor - a dermatologist.
The only thing that remains constant is our recommendation that you never even try to pop a pimple yourself.
Prevention of formations
Watery pimples on the face are a common occurrence and indicate the presence of certain diseases. The human body tends to express the pathology of internal systems through external signals - formations on the skin, allergic reactions. To eliminate and prevent this problem, it is necessary to understand its causes, diagnostic methods, and preventive measures.
Causes
Most often, water pimples appear in the face area. This feature is associated with the special structure of the skin, as well as blockage of the sebaceous ducts after sweating.
The causes of the appearance of these formations can be both allergic reactions and pathologies of internal organs. Some of them require treatment, others go away on their own.
Elements of a rash with internal water content in an adult can be caused by the following factors:
- hormonal imbalances;
- herpes;
- individual intolerance to medications;
- allergy;
- prickly heat;
- fungal infections of the body;
- varieties of subcutaneous mites;
- intoxication of the body;
- acute viral and infectious diseases: measles, chickenpox, rubella;
- metabolic disease.
Often, stressful situations can trigger the appearance of watery acne on the face. In addition, hypothermia or a cold is also included in this list.
An accompanying unpleasant phenomenon is redness, swelling and itching. Depending on the complex of combined symptoms, specialists determine the nature of the disease.
If this problem is detected in the facial area, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. He will conduct an oral consultation, take skin tests and refer you for the necessary tests.
The body reacts to cold with similar manifestations. When in contact with snow or low temperature water, pimples slowly spread across the face. The rash often affects the cheek area and upper lip area. If there is itching, it is recommended to immediately consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Pimples formed on the nose, corners of the mouth or lip indicate herpes. This infection requires proper treatment, so you should not prescribe medications yourself.
Diagnostics
Depending on the nature of the manifestations, their color and structure, the main cause of the rash can be determined. Diagnostics in the laboratory means contacting the following specialists:
- Allergist. Examines specific areas of the skin using special tests to detect the presence of antibodies and antigens.
- Dermatologist. Send the patient for an examination containing blood tests. If elevated levels are detected, the doctor has the right to recommend treatment from specialized doctors.
- Cosmetologist. Adjusts skin care.
- Endocrinologist. Will check hormone levels and their relationship with watery rashes.
Often the tests recommended for the patient include a complete blood count, cytological examination of skin scrapings, allergy tests and biochemistry.
The obtained indicators indicate the state of the body: increased parameters will be a signal for making a diagnosis. Endocrinologists may prescribe tests for cortisol and prolactin.
Indicators of herpes are watery manifestations on the face, temperature, redness, burning, as well as a cracked crust from acne. In this case, doctors prescribe treatment that eliminates the infection from the body.
The nature of the watery contents also gives the doctor a basis for the diagnosis. For example, pink pimples with fluid may indicate the presence of molluscum contagiosum. Formations that quickly open and dry indicate the presence of chickenpox. Redness around pimples and swelling will tell the doctor about allergic dermatoses.
Treatment
Under the supervision of an experienced doctor, competent treatment of watery formations on the face is carried out, corresponding to the established diagnosis.
If the rash is not an allergic reaction, the doctor prescribes specialized medications that affect the affected organs. Experts recommend removing external symptoms with ointments and creams.
The following drugs are used for treatment:
- Ibuprofen is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory drug prescribed in case of infection in the body.
- Fukortsin and brilliant green solution - for treating blisters on the face. Options that are of little use for the treatment of adults due to their characteristic color, so they are often replaced with potassium permanganate.
- Antiallergic drugs - Loratadine, Cetirizine, which have antihistamine properties.
- Ointments and gels for external use with the characteristic feature of cooling the skin surface. They will become appropriate in the presence of an unpleasant burning itch.
If watery blisters on the face become a manifestation of intoxication, the doctor prescribes sorbents such as Enterosgel and Laktofiltrum. They absorb accumulated toxins and remove them from the body, eliminating the root cause of the rash.
Probiotics, for example, Linex, help restore intestinal microflora after allergies. It strengthens the immune system and protects the body from exposure to toxic substances.
If prickly heat has been diagnosed, zinc-based ointments are used, as well as the drugs Bepanten and Depanthenol. They improve tissue regeneration, promoting rapid healing of affected areas. The drugs are considered universal because they have no contraindications.
The complex also includes normalizing the diet - excluding fatty, spicy foods that affect the functioning of the liver and pancreas. It is better to diversify the table with microelements and vitamins, which significantly increase immunity. Adequately structured treatment gives positive results within a week after its start.
The most common causes of blisters on the face
This unpleasant type of inflammation can be the result of a huge number of different factors. Moreover, watery pimples appear both due to minimal disruption of processes in the body, and due to the development of serious diseases.
The most unpleasant thing is that it is not always possible to distinguish the cause by the type of rash. Acne practically does not differ in appearance, so only highly qualified specialists can diagnose the pathology. And in many cases, even experienced doctors need the results of a considerable number of tests.
Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital at the first appearance of rashes.
It is noteworthy that various reasons can lead to the appearance of watery rashes on different parts of the body, including the face, limbs and even genitals. Of course, identifying why such acne appears in children is much easier than in adults. But even in this case, you need to have some knowledge in order to draw the right conclusions.
Photos of the main elements of the rash
There are the following types of rashes in a child:
- spot - a non-relief formation on the skin, which differs significantly in color; the spots may be reddened or, conversely, white;
- papule - a nodular rash without cavities that reaches 3 cm;
- plaque - a protruding thickening above the surface;
- blisters and vesicles are cavity neoplasms that collect clear liquid;
- pustule - a cavity in which purulent contents are present;
- a hemorrhagic rash forms in the form of red dots and spots of varying sizes. If you stretch the skin at the site of the lesion or press on the spot, it will not change its tone.
Scabies
Severely itchy pimples in the form of watery blisters appear when a person is infected with scabies. Severe itching at night is unbearable. But you should not scratch areas with pimples, as this will cause the affected area to expand.
Initially, with scabies, pimples appear on the arms and stomach, then the disease spreads.
Carefully! Scabies is contagious. If you suspect this disease, you should immediately consult a dermatologist for help.
If you miss the moment, the disease can cause complications, deprive you of hair, and provoke serious diseases of the internal organs.
Rash without fever or itching
You don’t always need to worry when a rash appears, but you need to determine its cause; this can only be done by a qualified specialist. The origin of the problem can be different:
- Erythema toxic. Resembles small nodules or blisters with liquid. Does not require treatment and goes away within a few weeks.
- Erythema simple. Expressed as slight redness of the skin. Such rashes are an adaptation of the body to new conditions of existence.
- Infant acne is caused by an imbalance of hormones in the baby's body.
- Miliaria minor is not dangerous to health; it occurs due to high levels of humidity in the baby’s environment.
Etiology of dermatological problem
How to understand which disease caused the appearance of watery acne? It is quite difficult to independently determine the type of disease, the manifestation of which is a skin rash.
But, if you take into account the frequency of occurrence of individual ailments and the specific location of small pimples on the skin, you can diagnose the disease:
- If small rashes appear near the lips and in the nose, most likely this is a manifestation of herpetic disease;
- If the rash is localized in the extremities, in particular in the area of the fingers, this may be a manifestation of shingles;
- If, over time, the watery blisters turn into painful papules, this is one of the main symptoms of smallpox;
- If red, inflamed pimples all over your body itch, this is one of the main signs of the development of demodicosis.

It is immediately worth noting that it is impossible to draw far-reaching conclusions based on the above-mentioned symptoms. If you are faced with a dermatological problem personally, it is better to immediately seek help from a dermatologist.
Who to contact
If watery acne appears, the first thing you should do is consult a dermatologist.
After a preliminary examination, he may refer you for consultation to other specialists. Sometimes the help of an allergist, endocrinologist, or gastroenterologist is required. Watery pimples on the body of an adult or child look like cavities raised above the skin level, filled with transparent watery exudate or yellowish ichor. In medicine, such formations are called vesicles. The rashes are most often localized on the stomach, arms, legs, fingers, and less often on the face, palms and feet. The development of the rash may be accompanied by itching.
Unfortunately, when blisters appear on the body and itch like mosquito bites, people do not always make the right decision and seek specialized help. Most patients prefer to first try a lot of folk remedies or self-medicate the problem, which is a huge mistake.
- infection of affected skin areas with the development of purulent processes;
- scarring of tissue in the area where blisters appear, hyperpigmentation of the skin, which are a visible cosmetic defect;
- decreased immunity due to prolonged absence of necessary and competent treatment.
People who have acne like mosquito bites all over their body and are accompanied by the following health changes should visit their doctor's office immediately:
- an increase in general temperature and an increase in symptoms of intoxication;
- generalization of the rash;
- the appearance of swelling and severe itching in the area of the rash;
- lack of positive treatment results when the rash does not go away for a long time;
- if in places where blisters develop, weeping wounds with a bleeding surface appear;
- rapid spread of edema.
It is important to remember that medical care should not be neglected when it comes to young children, since often a rash similar to insect bites in them may indicate the development of infectious diseases, sometimes very life-threatening.
Why do rashes appear?
The reasons for the appearance of many small pimples on the face are not always clear. After all, doctors note a large number of factors that can provoke rashes.
Most often, rashes are formed when the ducts of the sebaceous glands are blocked. This is caused by excess production of sebum and sweat. When the secretion hardens, a dense plug is formed.
Red rashes appear as the inflammatory process develops
Blockages can also be caused by dirt, dust, and dead skin cells. In the absence of oxygen, an excellent environment is created for bacteria, which begin to multiply intensively. In this case, inflammation is accompanied by the production of yellow, gray pus, redness and pain.
You may also read:What does an allergic rash look like?
- genetic predisposition to increased activity of the sebaceous glands;
- allergic reaction to various irritants (medicines, food, dust, household chemicals, pollen);
- violation of nutritional principles;
- vitamin deficiency and hypervitaminosis;
- disturbances in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- inflammatory processes in the reproductive organs;
- skin diseases (eczema, dermatitis, streptoderma);
- activation of demodex (small subcutaneous pimples appear);
- improper skin care;
- negative influence of external factors (rain, sun, wind);
- hormonal disorders (adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, rash in infants).
Often in adolescence, rashes appear on the back, shoulders, and face. During this period, the pores are enlarged, and the sebaceous glands are active. A similar problem is observed in newborn children, whose nose and forehead are covered with white formations.
In adolescents, the rash is associated with hormonal imbalances
Rashes on the chest and abdomen can appear as a result of stress. Under conditions of increased excitement, the level of adrenaline in the blood increases, which leads to the appearance of acne.
