Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy patch of blisters below the shoulder which occurs because of allergic reaction and could be due to contact dermatitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wash area with ingredient containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid. Avoid exposure to sunlight and avoid itching and pricking rashes. You should drink plenty of fluids and avoid oily, sharp and greasy food. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline and steroid ointment.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
