not too sure but i think
"blisters" (the more commonly used term) covers for both
khatira and
foka (due to burning or irritation)
In medical terminology, the symptoms: redness, itching and dryness, blistering, oozing and bleeding are all attributed to the form of a dermatitis(skin disease) called
eczema, but that's more specific and not all blisters are caused by eczema. I heard that eczema is a common disease among us Nepalese though just like gastric is :P
anyways, hope that helps...
any docs out there? correct me if i am wrong :D
