Brief Answer:
Suggestive of Varicella (chickenpox) infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concern for the skin blisters.

After having gone through the brief history and the uploaded pictures it seems to me you have a viral infection called as Varicella or Chickenpox.
This infection is associated with fever, headache, itching over the skin, or infected blisters.

I advise you to consult a physician for proper evaluation and treatment.
For symptomatic relief you may take Acetaminophen tablets and if you have itching from the skin blisters you may use Calamine lotion on the affected areas of the skin.
You need to have adequate hydration, take liquid diet, plenty of fruits of fruit juices, and bed rest.

Hope this answers your query, however I shall be happy to answer you if you have any follow up query.

Take care.
Regards.
