Red Irritated Spot On Thigh. Is It A Blister?
I noticed today that I have a red irritated spot on my upper thigh. At first I thought nothing of it and thought maybe it was a bug bite or something. I ve noticed that the center is blister-like (skin is slightly filled with liquid and layers of skin is slightly separated). I m not sure if it is a staph infection or not

Hi,
It seems that you may be having impetigo bullosa.
It is staphylococcal infection.
Poor immunity and poor hygiene might be responsible.
Apply antibiotic cream.
Take antibiotic with anti inflammatory drugs.
Improve immunity with immunobusters.
Have dettol bath to improve hygiene.
You may consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.
Internal diseases and immunocompromised conditions may be ruled out.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
