Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As three weeks passed , so neither it is due to chicken pox , nor due to scabies as scrap test is negative.
Without physical examination it is very hard to say about diagnosis.
If possible upload a picture of these blisters.
May be staphylococcal infection, pyoderma, folliculitis.
Dermatologist ,consultation may help as physical examination is important.
Good luck for your grand daughter.
