Question : swelling leg developing blisterrs

Answered by Dr. Ram Choudhary (33 minutes later)

Hello XXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling of limb with blisters indicates possibility of two sinister things-
1. a severe infection called cellulitis of leg.
Or
2. it may be a vascular compromise due to a clot in the vessels.
In both the cases you may risk your limb, so there is no scope of waiting in your case.
Please get an urgent medical consult to avoid complications.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have any follow up queries or doubts, you can forward them for me, and I shall be glad to help you.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
