What Do Itchy Blisters On The Hands And Legs Indicate?

Hi
I was suffering from itching on my body a few days while the monsoons were on. I stay in Noida. I was told the water was not good as I recently shifted here. One doctor said it is bacterial infection as I have a few round blisters on my hand and legs where I felt itching. Please suggest some ayurvedic medicine if available or allopathic medicine for this issue

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Eruption of recurring itchy round bumps all over the body can be due to common causes like:
-Contact Dermatitis that is an allergic reaction which occurs when skin comes in contact with certain agents that your body is allergic to like skin cosmetics, detergents, soaps, fragrances,leather, latex, poison ivy etc..

-FOLLICULITIS or generalized hair follicle infection caused by Staphylococcus bacteria leading to formation of painful bumps over different parts of the body..

As of now you can take anti allergics like benadryl for relieving itching and do cool compresses over bumps..
You can be advised anti allergics, topical steroid ointment in combination with antiseptic ointment like Muricoprin..

A course of oral antibiotics can also be advised..

If there is no improvement, consult a skin specialist and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
