How Can Itchy Blisters On The Legs And Arms Be Treated?

I have battled a severe rash for over a year. Two doctors did not know what it was...Cortizone shots twice almost cleared it up, but it bounced right back. I have tried everything...told the drs. I thought it was a form of shingles and they said no. Clusters of blisters, minute size or one large deep spot and trails leading off from it. Intense itching and discomfort. Legs, outer arms, back, behind knees...etc.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain red itchy bumps on your body that spread with appearrence of trails can be due to causes like:
-Any bug or insect bite that was toxic enough to cause generalized allergic reaction..
-It can also be due to Mite infestation causing Scabies..

I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests and microscopic examination of the scrapings from bumps can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

In case if it is an allergic reaction anti allergics like Allegra or benadryl, steroids and also injection of steroid for faster resolution along with steroid ointment and cool compresses over red bumps can help..

In case of Scabies oral Ivermectin and topical Premethrin lotion can help in relief..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
