What Causes Blister Like Rashes On The Forearms And Wrists?

I have a rash on my forearms wrists and a little on fingers, there are little water blisters. I have been to my doc and she doesn t know what it is. I have been to a second doc and she didn t know either. She looked it up and said it was scabies. I got this from a girl at work that wore my gloves and jacket any ideas? I don t think it is scabies

Hello,I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Listening to your history it seems to be a viral infection and yes sharing your gloves could be the reason but to be sure about it you need to tell associated symptoms whether you had fever as the rashes developed,are they painful or painless, itching and redness is there or not?
After examining the type of blister diagnosis can be made.
As per now I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist to know the type of blister and associated symptoms because neglecting it is not a good choice.
Hope this advice would help you and feel free to ask further queries or for follow up
Regards
