Hello,
From Your description I am of the opinion that you should have a microscopy and culture test of blister fluid, it may be bacterial infection most probably streptococcus. Moreover have your checkup done for CBC, ESR, and specifically platelets. You can revert back to me with the reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
