bleb
Small fluid sac
A bleb is a small blister or bubble, especially one filled with fluid on or beneath the skin.
In medicine, blebs are air-filled sacs that can form on lung tissue.
The word also applies to similar bubble-like formations in biology and materials science: A bleb formed where the burn had been.
