Hello Nancy:

Even when I didn't have insurance, I still went to the doctor. Your hubby should too. He's embarrassed? Tell him to wear a veil.

First since I am a nurse your husband should go see a doctor but his blister could range from a spider bite to herpes to a staff infection or cellulitis the only way to know for sure would be to see a doctor

Have you tried anything? Give him some Benedryl, maybe it is a allergic reaction. I am no Doctor though and the best advice is to go to one like everyone else is telling you.

Maybe WebMD has something helpful: WebMD - Better information. Better health.

try a hot compress, and you can use a drawing salve like smile brand to bring the infecton to a head so it can drain. Hopefully its just a boil, if it gets worse it may be staph and hell need a dr for antibiotics.
