General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
The most common cause of blisters in children is varicella or chickenpox.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Manage pruritus in patients with varicella with cool compresses and regular bathing.
-Discourage scratching to avoid scarring. Trimming the child’s fingernails and having the child wear mittens while sleeping may reduce scratching.
-Topical calamine lotion
-Use acetaminophen in case of fever
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
