Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of watery blisters on the legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fungal infection , bacterial infection, allergic reaction or friction blisters. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep your legs clean and dry, do not wear tight clothes as they will cause itching. Apply over the counter antibiotics cream and also apply ice compresses several times a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test along with physical examination to check the tenderness and consistency . Doctor may prescribe oral antibacterial or antifungal depending upon the diagnosis . Doctor may also prescribe salicylic acid for keratinisation .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
