Hi
Thanks for keeping me posted!

The rash with blisters and itching could be an allergy to the cream. It could also be Herpes, which affects a dermatome ie a section of the area supplied by a single nerve.
It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. Please discuss this with your doctor.  Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
