Having Swelling In Legs And Also Developed Blisters. Suggestions
Question: swelling leg developing blisterrs
Hello XXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling of limb with blisters indicates possibility of two sinister things-
1. a severe infection called cellulitis of leg.
Or
2. it may be a vascular compromise due to a clot in the vessels.
In both the cases you may risk your limb, so there is no scope of waiting in your case.
Please get an urgent medical consult to avoid complications.
I hope this answers your query.

Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
