Question : I have a weird rash that looks like insect bites. It turns into a blister like sore .It started I think with a sore in y nose. then a few blister like sores around my mouth then a lot of rashes and sore under my one arm. A couple individual sores popping up on my arm. When they heal they leave a scar. This has been going on for two weeks. What could this be?

According to your complaints their are few possibilities: either pyoderma which is bacterial infection of the skin or herpes which is a viral infection.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas under the report section of the site or email them to YYYY@YYYY as " Attention: Dr Asmeet" so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
