My mom has black marks and blisters and pus and swelling around her face to the point where her eye is swollen shut and its very red and inflamed. i know she needs a doctor but she is extremely resistant. ive been using antiseptic cream for now. ?

She needs evaluation: I’m sure you are concerned about her health and I agree with you. It sounds like she has a soft tissue infection (cellulitis) for which she needs antibiotics ASAP, possibly IV antibiotics. Take her to the nearest emergency room. Even during this time, ER physicians are treating all kinds of conditions besides covid 19. They will be able to care for her safely.
