What Could Be The Red Itchy Rashes That Appear As Blisters Or Dry Patches?

I have a red itchy rash that comes up in different places on my body. Some spots are like little blisters and some places are like dry patches. No other symptoms just red itchy bumps everywhere. Its been going on for about 2 months. Any idea what this could be? I am in a swimming pool 4 times a week.

Hi,

It seems that you might have allergic contact dermatitis. You gave history of swimming. Probably that would be the cause of your disease. I think you should stops swimming. The pollutants or chlorinated water might be responsible. However,you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Antibiotics,steroids in tappering dose and antihistaminics might be taken to improve the condition. Combined cream of steroid and antibiotics may be applied. You may be improved. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
