Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You can take an antihistamine tablet if you have one nearby for the itching. Apply Lactocalamine lotion on the itchy sites but don;t apply on any wounder or inflammed areas. It is best you go to the Hospital and get the blisters looked at and since swelling is spreading it could be severe allergic reaction which can cause throat close down due to swelling which can make problem breathing. Go to the Hospital immediately.
