Suggest Treatment For Watery Blisters For An 86-year-old Female

My 86 yr old mum woke with water blisters on her chest.. She is in very clean nursing home. On antibiotics.. As we are expecting a reaction at some stage when she can no longer use antibiotics to control sores on her legs, could this be an indication

Hello,

The blisters could be due to herpes outbreak as that is common for people at the age of your mother.

However, it's also true can be a possible allergy reaction. A picture of the blisters would help determine the right diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
