Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fluid blisters on left upper arm, back and hip which could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands as these areas have rich number of sebaceous glands. It could be due to contact dermatitis and hair follicle infection by bacteria leading to folliculitis. Need not to worry. You should wear loose clothes. You should avoid sharing clothes. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. If symptoms keeps on persisting you should go for patch test as well. Apply topical antibiotic cream such as neosporin 2% on it. take a course of antibiotic tablet. You should rinse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice a day. Take a course of Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice a day for 5 days.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
