Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like insect bite.
Give him an anti histamine syrup for immediate relief.
I would like to know whether this is the only group of blisters or he has them even on other parts of body.
Also let me know whether there are other symptoms like fever or itch.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
