Default blister disease? pls help.

im scheduled for visit in vet tomorrow but i have no confidence in vet where i live now therefore my questions. please answer only if came across this situation. i have jungle python for three three years now. she never been sick or anything like that. non of mine snakes have been. to the chase thou.
about week ago i have noticed quite seizable blister on her neck. at first i thought I was result of burn. kinda human thing when fluid gather under skin when you burn yourselves. but after couple days it was all over the place. i would say they appear on half section in the middle of the snake along spine. this is where im getting puzzled. she is being kept in around 30% humidity in clean viv on newspapers. i would appreciate answers from your own experience. im worried as hell.

aint got any. but there was no discolouration on scales or any indication of any sort of skin deterioration. just bulge with watery fluid in it. shes in shed and it looks like 'waterish' fluid is between old and new skin.
edit. btw its all along spine.

my dads royal had this sort of thing but it was around the middle of the body and tail. It looked like there were blisters on the underside of the snake so he took it the vets and they gave it injections each time he went and a daily treatment of this cream, i dont know the name of it but i could check also he had a bottle of iodine a think which he mixed with the cream i am not sure on that one though. Also he put the snake in the bath when shedding as it didn't shed properly. after a while though it was all cured and now he is fine, hope this helps and i hope your snake gets better
