Abscess : Sounds like the blister has turned into a subq abscess and cellulitis .. You may benefit from a quick ER or urgent care visit for evaluations , they maybe able to do a quick I & D and send you home on oral antibiotics ...

Need an exam: It sounds like an infected cyst or an abscess. In any case, you need to see your physician today. You may well have a problem that needs to be surgically drained or excised.
