It sounds like she has a skin infection causing the rash on the inside of her flank. She should be examined by a vet for treatment. She may need an antibiotic, antihistamine, or corticosteroid to treat the problem. If the blood blister doesn't resolve with medical treatment than it may need to be removed and biopsied.
