A member asked:

6 very red, raised painful blisters on elbow. not itchy, feels like a burn. happened once before in exact same spot, went away by itself. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

viral infection: A recurrent eruption of tender small vesicles on the same area is most likely herpes simplex. If you have a prodrome of sensation in the area prior to tha appearance of the eruption it is most likely. There are medications for this. See your dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
