Is there any treatment for leaking or blistering from calcium deposits?
The phenomenon of leaking or blistering from calcium deposits is known as “perforating” PXE. The body extrudes some calcified degenerated elastic fibers through the surface of the skin. Redness, crusting, and inflammation can accompany the perforation. It is not true blistering as you might see with a burn. It is a transient phenomenon and will stop on its own. Although PXE International is not aware of any treatment for it, it is harmless. Your dermatologist should check the sites to make sure there isn’t something else going on, such as folliculitis or superficial infection.
