Hello,
As per your case history you are having either insect bite or herpes infection. My treatment advice is:
1. Don't scratch the blisters as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an NSAID like Ibuprofen for reducing inflammation.
If condition persists beyond 3 days then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
