What Causes Red Blister On Lower Leg?

My 11 year old son woke up with a big blister on his lower leg. He had a similar one on his other upper leg a few weeks ago. The doctor has put him on antibiotics and said it is unlikely to be from a reaction ot a bite. What could be the cause of it?

it could be an insect bite complicated with a streptococcus infection .. no need for systemic antibiotic , an antibiotic ointement three times daily will be enough
