What Causes Raised Blisters On Upper Arm?

I have a cluster of round blisters on my upper arm. They are a perfect circle, raised, pink in color. The centers are more flat and darker in color. They aren t itchy but I feel a burning sensation like a sunburn. I haven t been able to find a picture anywhere online that looks like these. Please help! Thank you!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that they may be herpetic.

This causes blister like lesions that would be painful. Eventually they evolve to small cuts or small open ulcers.

Treatment would mainly be pain medication. If the over the counter pain medication is not effective then you may need to see your doctor for stronger medication.

I hope this helps
