itchy rash and blisters on legs and hands

I have extremely itchy rash/blisters on my hands and legs.  Used anti-itch gel and took zertec, but not helpful. Please suggest

Hello,
Itchy rash and blisters on legs and hands can be due to contact dermatitis, fungal infection or pompholyx. Pompholyx primarily involves the hands and fingers and then may involve the feet. The first stage is acute and presents as itchy blisters on the hands, fingers and toes. Then the chronic stage shows more peeling, cracking, or crusting. Then the skin heals up, or the blistering may start again. The exact cause is not known and excessive sweating can be one of the reasons.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
