How Can A Blister On The Leg Be Treated?
My mother has incontinence and has a blister on the back of her leg in the crease of her leg and the blister popped and looks raw. I have been washing it with warm soapy water and applying medical honey. She does not have a fever but it is very uncomfortable. Is there something else I should be doing?

Hi,
Blisters may develop in many diseases in the leg.
Possible causes are
1. Continue rubbing on the popliteal area with clothes or linen lead to bleb.
2. Deep vein thrombosis.
3. Cellulitis of the leg.
4. Bullous autoimmune disorders etc.
Until the examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult with your dermatologist/physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
