Hi
From your description, looks like you are having some blistering disorder.
This means that you seem to be having one of the autoimmune diseases in which there is recurrent development of fluid filled blisters over the body.
Treatment of most of these is in the form of oral or iv steroids.
I would advise you to see a dermatologist and take regular treatment since most of these disorders take a long time to heal and they may also be recurrent in nature.
Hope it helps
