Many years ago my mother developed cellulitis and had lesions that looked like strep or staph. She wound up in nursing home.
Shortly after that I developed sores. My shins turned purple. Went to Dr.He prescribed med for staph. It went away, but came back. Renewed prescription. Again, it went away but came back. Doc wouldn't refill presc.
Call it intuition. but decided to try yarrow tea. Drank about 3 cups a day and it went away - and never came back.
Have a friend that had drop foot and had sores in leg. Drs wouldn't treat it. I gave her yarrow for tea and her sores went away.

I used to work as a wound care nurse and the blisters are the excess fluid trying to come out usually. You have to pay attention to other symptoms usually like redness, swelling, color, smell and also to make sure that there is still a good pulse in your foot for blood supply. If you have just been on antibiotics there probably isn't an infection.
