Hives are not presenting as blisters which occur in dyshidrotic eczema.

In dyshydrotic eczema fluid filled,very itchy blisters appear on the palms & soles. On the other hand, hives only remain in place for a day but appear and reappear in scattered distribution. They can resemble insect bites but can be much larger. They are also very itchy. I tend to believe you're experiencing hives. A dermatologist would be best to evaluate, advise and treat you.

My four year old has always had sensitive skin. At times, she breaks out with a flat pink/red dry looking rash clustered mostly on her face, behind her knees, legs and in the folds of her arms on the front side of her elbows. Could it be pediatric eczema?
