What Causes Itchy Blood Filled Blisters On The Upper Arm?
Hi, last weekend i got two pimples on my upper arm that were very itchy, so i started to pick them and intill they bled and got bigger. My mom noticed it so she gave me her some type of fugal cream to use and it only made the pimples worse because more grew on my arm. then today i found two on my stomach, one under my arm pit so i used eucrin calming creme, nothing has worked , what is this?
It is possible that the lesions may be either fungal infection or impetigo which is a bacterial infection that can spread. Some persons may have a combination.
Impetigo needs to be treated with oral antibiotics and fungal infections require treatment with topical agents for 2 to 3 weeks.
Because they can be spread, contact with other persons may need to be limited.
It would be best to see a doctor for assessment and treatment.
I hope this helps
