A blister may form after the Dr freezes the skin. This shield protects the blister from breaking, a very good thing.

In treating pre-cancerous skin lesions, dermatologists often freeze and destroy the abnormal cells. A blister usually forms the day after the procedure. If the blister breaks, clean it daily and protect it with petroleum jelly.
I am sure I will use the blister as a battering ram within a couple of days.
To help prevent accidental blister rupture, I designed a small 3D‑printed shield. It has ventilation holes to encourage airflow and is secured with two strips of masking tape or bandages. You can resize the shield in your slicer using the scale function.
Important: Ask your doctor if this shield is appropriate for you before using it. My dermatologist felt it was a reasonable option.
I printed with the top of the shield on the print plate and the arms supported with tree supports.
The Inside Dimensions of this design (an oval) are 22 x 14 x 4 mm. You can scale it to be larger or smaller using the slicing software.
