Default Blinker Fuse

My turn signal fuse keeps blowing. I can change it, drive the car around then randomly during the trip the fuse will blow. It wont last more than one trip. Ive never touched anything electrical involving these wires.
What could be causing the short?

COULD BE THE SWITCH or a short is a bulb socket or a chaffed wire somewhere

an internal short , but not saying that is it, a chaffed wire or bad socket or shorted bulb or bad connector can cause such too
