In the absence of: A trauma, like a burn, it's unusual to have a painless rash that doesn't itch that turns into blisters. Herpes hurts, that's ur main blister causer but u would know. It may be fungal. Try some lotrimin (clotrimazole) with Hydrocortisone daily for a few weeks and go get seen if worsens or u get sick.
