Hello, I had sclerotherapy done on my legs and some areas I formed blisters. Ruling out steri strip reaction as I do not have blisters at all injection sites and a steri strip was used on my c-section with no reaction. I am hypertrophic/keloid prone and getting really nervous for these to develop where the blisters are. The dr is puzzled why this happened in a few areas and not everywhere. He said not to put anything on them and let them pop on it's own.

Answer: Reaction to sclerotherapy This looks like a reaction to the sclerotherapy agent that was used. There are reactions that can occur depending on the agent used. I would recommend using a scar cream as these blisters can open and lead to scarring.

Answer: Post sclerotherapy blisters. Blisters post sclerotherapy treatment is most unusual. If steri-strips were used (again not usual) the blisters could have been caused by moisture under the strips. Blisters from the solution used could be due to leakage under the skin and irritation. The blisters shown look like there may be some blood in them which would indicate post injection bleeding. You may want to apply silvadene cream to the blisters which may aid in healing. I prefer to break the blisters when small but leaving them alone will also heal. I would expect you to heal well from this but you should follow up with your treating MD.
