Suggest Treatment For Blisters On Knee Of A Toddler
My 2 year old fell about 5 days ago and had a small dime sized rug burn on her knee. It is now the size of a quarter and small blisters keep appearing each day. No swelling, no redness, now general pain. I thought she may have been allergic to the bandage adhesive, because I have another child who is. However, I have not been using bandages with adhesive for the past 2 days and still new blisters are forming.

Hello,
Your child may be having a local skin infection called impetigo. This may cause blisters that when open ooze and then later created honey color crusts. Treatment is with local antibiotic cream such as Fusidic Acid or any antibiotic cream you may find. You will need to keep the area dry and clean.
If the rash is not better in 2-3 days or is getting any worse you will need to send your child to a doctor.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
