Viral? Eczema?: Depending on the location this could be herpes. Not just genital herpes, but the virus can come to other parts of the body too (not through sexual contact). Herpetic whitlow comes to the fingers, for example, the other thing you could have is dyshidrotic eczema, which causes blisters and responds to steroid cream (like hydrocortisone).

Get the diagnosis: There are many types and causes of skin rashes. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
