Suggest Medications For Blister Like Sores

My 5 year old has a big blister like sore or lesion on his leg. It was quite raised but then burst. Area underneath is quite red. He had a similar one about the size of a 10 cent piece on the same leg.This became a scab which took at least 2 weeks to heal and now looks like a scar.

Hello
Such type of blisters over any part of the body may be due to bacteria ( usually due to bacterial origin ) like streptococcus or staphylococcus or other type of bacteria .
When such type of patient visit I usually prescribe "BROAD SPECTRUM " antibiotics like erythomycin 10 mg / kg body weight thrice or twice in day for 5-7 days . I also advise them to take serratiopeptidase 10 mg thrice in day for 5- 7 days. Wash these blisters with savlon solution ( diluted) twice in day .
Take care about local hygiene of the blister. These blisters are known as pyoderma , furuncles or abscess or cellulitis but treatment is same .
Since these are prescription drugs so please take consultation of a physician .
Hope this information will help you.
Good luck.
