What Causes Itching In Forearm Followed By Blisters?

My daughter has had an itchy forearm which quickly blistered and watery fluid came out when it burst . now she has a circle shape on her arm which is like a red ring with a paler middle . She has had this before over a couple of years and it is always the same symptoms only one appears and it leaves a nasty scar

Hi...By what you quote I feel that it could be an eczema or an allergic reaction of the skin or urticaria. But the description you give - a circle shape on her arm which is like a red ring with a paler middle - is suggestive of Erythema Multiforme and I suggest you should see a dermatologist for this.

Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
