Suggest Treatment For Contact Dermatitis On Back

Posted on Mon, 16 Feb 2015

Question: I had back pain so I got a massage. It still hurt a little afterwards so I laid on ice and a heating pad alternately. I then laid on the pad for a couple hours. Now I have blisters over my entire back. How do I treat them?
