Arterial ulcer
Venous ulcer
Is this person diabetic? No, he is not a diabetic, but had ricketts as a child and now has poor ciruclation and a little swelling in his lower legs.
Ricketts is caused by Vitamin D deficiency amongst other malnutrition. Poor circulation can be poor arterial blood flow or venous return both of which cause ulcers on the feet. Vitamin D, I have heard, can help with arterial ulcers. Perhaps your person doesn't absorb or metabolise Vit D very well. I'd see a Dr as these blisters, especially if they become sores, need to be cared for. Perhaps some compression bandages to prevent the swelling? Do some research on Arterial Ulcers versus Venous Ulcers so you know which you are dealing with.
Good luck.

Water retention in the lower legs can cause the skin to become stretched, making it more vulnerable to friction and blister formation.

Proper treatment of water retention and good skin care can help prevent blisters in this situation.
You have swollen legs with lymphadema and now have weeping blisters on feet can you tell me why have I got these blisters as my feet are up most of the time?
Weeping blisters on the feet in the setting of lymphedema can be due to the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, leading to increased pressure and impaired lymphatic drainage. This can cause the skin to break down and form blisters that weep fluid. It is important to seek medical attention to prevent infection and manage the underlying lymphedema.
