To "cure" a persistant bleb the mom must take the top of the blister off and keep the pore exposed for about three weeks, in my experience. For some reason her body wants skin there, not realizing all the trouble it's causing!! If mom just lifts the skin away from the bleb it will aneal again as soon as she turns attention elsewhere. I do think lecithen should be helpful, and I think Dr. Newman's apno may help as well. Blebs hurt WAAAAAAY more than it seems they might.
