Suggest Treatment For Itchy Water Blisters On Elbows, Knees And Scalp

About six months ago I broke out with water blisters on one of my elbows. They started itching so I would scratch them and consequentley break open the blisters. Now they are currently on the other elbow , both knees, scalp, and crotch. I went to the clinic and I have been on Predizone the last 4 days and at first they disappeared and now starting to come back again. The physician s assistant had no clue what they were.

Hello,

As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
