Suggest Remedy For Painful Cluster Of Blisters On Thigh

I have a small cluster of blisters on the back of my thigh about 4 inches above the back of my knee. First it was a spot that itched terribly. Then quickly turned extremely painful and tiny blisters appeared in a cluster about the size of quarter but more elongated in shape. It is very painful and causes my entire leg to hurt.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might be suffering from shingles.

Your description matches with that.

It is a viral infection and you need treatment with anti virals like acyclovir.

Also take an antihistamine tablet.

This will give you some relief.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
