What Causes The Outbreak Of Blisters All Over The Body?

I recently had an eruption of blisters on my mouth. I was treated with cortisone which after two days cleared. Then the blisters appeared on my calves. The itch is unlike anything I have ever experienced. It then spread on my upper legs, stomach, arms and hands, chest and face in that order. 1st doctor said it was hand foot and mouth disease. 2nd doctor said it was an allergic rash and referred me to dermatologist after she looked at me she said she suspects it is scabies but she didn t do any test. I treated. Yield and children that night. No one in the family has this and it has been 3 weeks. I am gluten intolerant and I wondered if it is dermatitis herpetiformis. My doctor said it was today and to not repeat the second scabies treatment because she is convinced it is not scabies. I am so confused and I am tearing my skin off in the meantime. The dermatologist did a puncture biopsy and said it would be 3 weeks. The blisters started out little and were filled with fluid and then crusted. The scabies treatment worked for the first 5 days then it got super itchy again. Can you help?

Hi, scabies infection can easily be identified with a look on the ulcer or itcy area. As your itch moves and got treated with scabies it confirms the diagnosis. But the only problem is if you don't give proper attention it will recurr and can spread to other family member. Just follow the last doctor's advice and precautions said to be taken.
