What to do if white blisters grow on your hands

When Chinese medicine treats diseases, it must first make a strict diagnosis of the condition in order to determine the current state of the condition and what type of condition it is. Many people inexplicably grow small blisters on their hands, and most of the blisters are white. This type of condition may be caused by viral invasion or inflammatory bacterial infection. It depends on what symptoms the blisters have and receive reasonable treatment according to different types.
