What Causes Blister Like Rashes With Severe Itching?
My grand daughter has had a blistery rash that resembles chicken pox for a few days. They scab when they heal. At first we thought they were insect bites and they itch. She is allergic to peanuts, pistachios, and cashews, but never comes in contact with those. Any ideas?

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of blister-like rashes with severe itching which seems to be due to many reasons like contact dermatitis, coming into contact beauty products, an allergic reaction and systemic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Take an anti-inflammatory medication such as Zyrtec.
- Maintain proper personal hygiene.
- Apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Avoid touching or pricking rashes and apply calamine lotion to soothe them.
- Avoid application of any hard cosmetics.
You should consult a dermatologist for proper examination Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test, test for allergy and physical examination. The doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment, antibiotics, along with anti-inflammatory medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
