What Causes Recurrent Blisters On The Legs Despite Using Mupirocin?
my son has been getting blisters on his legs for the last 3 weeks ever since we went to our house upstate NY. His pediatrician thought it may be a staph infection and treated it as so, with antibiotics and washing it 3 times a day with lever 2000 and then applying mucipropin cream after each wash. We went upstate this past weekend and within an hour of my son riding his atv his blisters came back 10 fold. Not sure what the problem is.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
He may need a swab of the lesions to determine the exact bacteria involved and the antibiotics that would best treat it.
If the original lesions occurred after riding his ATV the first time, may also need to determine if this is a source of infection.
I hope this helps
