Blisters from Sclerotherapy on 11/17. Any advice on what could have caused this? He is monitoring for infection (Photo)

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.
