Blæredannende

Blæredannende is an adjective used in Danish medical language to describe something that forms blisters (vesicles) on the skin or mucous membranes. The term combines blære, meaning blister, with dannende, meaning forming, and is applied to agents, injuries, or conditions that trigger vesiculation. In dermatology and toxicology, blæredannende substances or events are those that initiate the formation of vesicles, whether through direct chemical damage, physical trauma, thermal injury, or chemical vesicants.

In clinical contexts, the concept may appear in descriptions such as "et blæredannende middel" (a vesicant agent) or "blæredannende virkning" (vesicant effect). It is a descriptive property rather than a diagnosis in itself. Blistering can result from various causes, including chemical exposure, ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, autoimmune processes, or mechanical friction.

Etymology: the term derives from Danish blære (blister) and dannende (forming). Cognates exist in related Scandinavian languages.
