What Causes Itchy And Swollen Blister On The Left Elbow?

2weeks ago my left elbow got blister, severe itching, severe swelling, fever and pain from fingertips to shoulder. My hand swelled so bad I couldn t make a fist. After about 3 days it started to get better. Then last week my right elbow, same thing. Now my neck hurts so bad I have been in bed all day. The back of my neck is swollen but no blisters or redness. Ibuprofen helped a little but it s still stiff and painful. Could these symptoms be related? This has never happened before.

Hello,

It could be an allergic blister. As a 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.
