What Could Be The Cluster Of Tiny Blisters On Chest And Abdomen Of Child?
My 10 year old boy has a cluster of tiny blisters (about 30 over a 3 1/2 inch area) on his chest and several others on his abdominal. He has had them for about two weeks. It seems like a few more have popped up over the last several days. What could this be?

antibiotic containing ampicillin and cloxacillin for 5 days may help.
Local application of antiseptic lotion or ointment will help in recovery.
