Question 1

unknown cause of blisters on my two year olds foot. accompanied by rash. originally looked like he was stung or bitten without puncture. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

See your Doctor: If you do not know how it happened and rash/blister worsen, see your doctor.  Try a corticosteriod cream over area.

Question 2

i have developed a rash on my lower arms. there are various clusters or multiple tiny bumps, that look somewhat like blisters. not itchy but can sting?

Accepted Answer

Rash is hard: to diagnose without direct visual examination and careful history taking.  I'm afraid you will need a healthcare provider visit, either here on this platform or in a clinic, to get additional meaningful help.  Thanks for trusting in Healthtap.

Question 3

if my skin blisters from a bee sting, does it mean i'm allergic to bee stings?

Accepted Answer

No: Allergic reactions to bee stings are characterized by symptoms away from the site of the sting. If all of the reaction to a sting - blisters, swelling, redness - are all directly connected to the site of the sting, it's a large local reaction. If you get stung on the foot and get hives on your arms, or your throat swells or you start to wheeze - those are allergic reactions. See an allergist.

Question 4

can you suggest how to treat rashes/genital itching and blistering/peeling of fingers and hands associated with a prolactinoma?

Accepted Answer

Prolactinoma: This tumor is rarely associated with skin issues, especially in the hands.
Yet you could have a prolactinoma and something else as well.
Please check with a dermatologist

Question 5

helix itches & burning and sting sensation. no visible rashes or anything. not pierced. sharp pain at random contact. throbs for a few seconds n dulls

Accepted Answer

Nerve: If there is no discoloration or swelling, the symptoms suggest irritable superficial nerves. This irritability should subside if no signs of inflammation ensue.

Question 6

i keep getting some red rashes that look like scars i have one for i think 2 months and its getting worse like expanding and other new ones that sting a bit like a burn.what is that?

Accepted Answer

: You are probably allergic to some kind of food or medication. See a Dermatologist for exam and treatment. Don't try to treat yourself, seek professional help.

Question 7

what can be done for a blistering rash?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: You need to see a clinician to determine the diagnosis. There are many causes for what you describe.

Question 8

i am 40 yo. i have pretty much every symptom of shingles. right down to the blistering rash that popped up yesterday. except for the blistering rash was gone almost 24 hours later. could it still be shingles?

Accepted Answer

: It can happen but it is not that common to have shingle at age 38 Without being immunocompromised. If the rash came and went in 24 hours, I can assure you that it is not shingle. Urticaria, commonly known as hives  can come and go within a few hours which I suspect you may have had. If it is recurring, I would recommend following up with your doc. Good luck

Question 9

what could cause a blistering armpit rash?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: Personal care items like deodorants or body creams can some times cause allergic reactions with blistering.  If it is only on one side and painful consider a viral infection.

Question 10

i've burnt my arm on the oven its blistering with a rash around it?

Accepted Answer

Doctor Visit: You could have serious burns which can get infected. Immediately get to the doctor!
