BLEB

bleb \bleb, noun:

1. A bubble.
2. Medicine/Medical. A blister or vesicle.

One day, as he was bathing her, a bleb of shampoo had streamed into her eye, and she had kept a hand pressed to it for the rest of the day, quailing away from him whenever he walked past.
— Kevin Brockmeier, Things That Fall From the Sky
His gaze skims over the computer out the side-yard window, to rest on a fat avocado, a bleb of green light hanging from a branch.
— Diana Abu-Jaber, Birds of Paradise

Bleb was first used in the early 1600s. It is considered imitative of a blister itself. It is also related to the Middle English word blob.
