Hello,
It could be any viral exanthematous illness. But as you quote them as itchy blisters - the possibilities are Hand Foot Mouth disease/ Chickenpox/ any other trivial viral exanthem. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergics like Hydroxyzine or Cetrizine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
