bullous
Having fluid-filled sacs
Bullous describes something characterized by or relating to bullae—large fluid-filled blisters on the skin.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts: bullous pemphigoid, bullous impetigo.
A bullous lesion is one that forms or contains blisters larger than a centimeter in diameter.
