Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have a rash on my arm it looks like small blisters they are all together the area is red its itchy but is painful at the same time it is starting to look like its healing after 4 days but still is itchy and hurts I wound like to know what it is that I have.
Itchy red blisters on the arm that are painful can be due to allergic reaction while can also be due to bug bites, laceration leading to infection etc
As it is starting to heal you need not to worry as it will get better soon.
To relieve the symptoms you can apply a combination of antibiotic and steroid ointment over it.
Do cool compresses. You can take anti-allergic like Levocetrizine to reduce itching. In case if it continue to spread you can consult an Emergency room and get evaluated.
Hope this helps
Regards
