Blister decomposition is a stage of decomposition that occurs when blisters form on the skin of a body after death. Blisters can form due to autolysis, a process that occurs when cells break down after the heart stops. How blisters form

• Autolysis: When the heart stops, cells lose oxygen and nutrients, and the pH level decreases. This causes cells to rupture and release enzymes that break down tissues. 
• Skin slippage: Localized areas of skin peel, which can lead to blisters. 
• Anaerobic organisms: The small amount of oxygen remaining in the body is used up by microbes, creating an environment for anaerobic organisms to grow. 

What happens to blisters 

• Broken blisters: Broken blisters dry out and leave behind areas of skin that are yellow, brown, or red, and have a parchment-like texture.
• Degloving: The skin on the hands and feet loosens, which is known as degloving.
