Could Painful Blisters On Arms, Legs And Breast Be Due To Virus?

Hello, I have tiny red & painful blisters on my arms, legs & breast. They come and go. I have had them for as short as 3 days and now is the longest I have had them...2 weeks. I have taken benydril, and IBprofin to releive symptoms. I bath every couple days using soap, oil in salt. Could this b a virus?
Totally confused

thanks for posting your query to HCM.
As I understand you are suffering for repeated blister over skin . It could be due to unhealthy skin . You need to maintain cliniliness and hygeinic condition. second thing you should be tested for Blood sugar examinaton (fasting and PP)as such type of condition may found in diabetec individual .
Next you should be investigated for culture and sensitivity examination of discharge from blister as most probably such kind of blister are caused by Bacterial infection .
I dont think it as a viral in origin .
review me with report of Blood sugar and culture and sensitivity of discharge .
take care .
