Hello,
This seems a typical case of cellulitis. It is important that the patient is started on antibiotics that cover especially staphylococcus as staphylococcus infections are the most common cause of cellulitis and also given that he has blisters, staphylococcus infection is very likely.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
