Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The blisters here after taking ibuprofen relate to the side effect of the drug itself.
My recommendations are:
-Do not take further doses of Ibuprofen medicine.
-Drink more liquids.
-Keep the parts dry and clean with the antiseptic liquid.
-Use of sprinkling dusting powder with Clotrimazole cream will help.
-Take Benadryl tablet as per the itching intensity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
