Mom is blistering on her right leg, some by her outer lower hip and now just below the knee.  any suggestions on what might cause this?  Not from the sun, and she is not bed ridden.  she is 81 and pretty active for her situation!

 

 Any suggestions????

She'd better see a doctor. It could be cellulitis or something else. It could be harmless, but these things can become serious in elders. I'd have it looked at soon.
