Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I would recommend you to show it to a skin specialist because it is highly unlikely for steroid injection to cause such blister. it can be a different pathology and you must find the real cause. I would forbid you to apply any cream or itching there and wait for some time.
