I've got this sudden blister on my waistline that showed up this afternoon, but there's no rash that I can see. I usually sweat a lot. Yesterday I was out in the sun for over eight hours. I'm curious about what's causing this blister. Could it be related to the sun exposure or maybe something else?

That could be folliculitis or pemphigous,visit dermatologist as soon as possible for evaluation and appropriate management.
