Blisters can also be due to various causes other than burn. As she is 91 years oldd..it is more in favor that she is having cellulitis,it can be due to injury or ulceration possibly because of pressure sores, or any abrasion which would get unnoticed.
She require local antiseptic and systemic antibiotic therapy
