What Causes Blisters At The Incision Site Post Placement Of Pace Maker?

Hello, my client has a pace maker which was installed a year ago this month. This is his third pace maker, about a month ago we noticed a blister like sore on the incesion line where the paces maker lays. When it burst or went down there was on discharge or drainage. Then the blister came back, went down, but this time there was a small hole the size if a pinpoint. Every week the hole keeps getting larger it the last measurement was 1 1/2 cm. we have not taken him into the Dr.s because he is on hospice. I ve looked on line and can not find anything to help us. ARE YOU ABLE TO HELP? Iv noticed that there is a charge to revive an answer from your group. PLEASE.....WE ARE UNABLE TO PAY AT THIS TIME , BUT WE EOULD LOVE IF YOU WERE ABLE TO HELP!
