Hi.

Thanks for the query.

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
