What Causes A Red Blister With Inflammation On The Forearm?

I woke up with a large welt on my forearm that was itchy. I then took a hot shower and it became a small blister and the skin around it red with inflammation. I went to my pcp who prescribed prednisone 2 wks ago and it now has returned. I went for blood work for Lyme Disease which was negative. i have another package of Prednisone. Should I take this? Need diagnosis. Thanks!
