What Causes Outbreak Of Blisters On Random Places Of The Body?

I have a friend who continuous gets boils on various parts of his body, i.e. the back, an arm or leg, etc. The doctors he sees lance them, however, another one shows up again. Isn t there some type of antibiotc, orally, or antimicrobial cleanser that would resolve the problem?

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of outbreak of blisters on random places of the body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis , allergic , eczema , psoriasis , warts , chickenpox or scabies. Need not to worry. For now apply cold compresses , do not apply any cosmetic product and protect your skin from direct sunlight . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination .
