Hi,
For correct diagnosis, we need a direct inspection or a photo of the lesion at least. Anyhow, there are two likely conditions causing this- An insect bite reaction (usually itchy) or skin infection like impetigo(may have yellow coloured fluid in blister). Bite reaction will respond to antihistamine and topical steroids, while infection need antibiotics. Kindly see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
