Hello, Thanks for your query.
From your description it appears to be chicken pox. These lesions occur all over the body in crops. Once a blister like lesion develops it dries up after about 12 hours and a new set of lesions occur. This is a self limiting condition. Hence there is really no treatment, except controlling fever and maintaining hydration. The disease is very mild infection in children, but tends to be a bit troublesome in adults. Some times antibiotics may be needed to prevent bacterial infection affecting lungs. Otherwise it is a comparatively simple condition. The pox marks will disappear over next few weeks. Thanks.
