Infection concern: If you are immunicpromised your risk of infection is higher then in other people. If you are concerned you should seek care or call your doctors office. Blisters that loose the skin covering are usually red underneath and tend to weep for a day or two till they dry out.

Yes: It sounds like you are developing an infection. It is urgent that you seek the proper medical care immediately, especially since you are immunocompromised. Go see a podiatrist or go to urgent care /emergency room today!
