Hello,

Such blisters which appear suddenly and then disappear can be due to contact dermatitis,heat rash,sweat dermatitis ,allergies or hives.Are these blisters itchy?

Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.

When they appear the next time,just take a retrospective view of the things that have come in contact with that area or anything different that youo had done at that time.Also apply calamine lotion and a mild steroid cream like dermacort.If they itch,you can take some antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin.

Also wear a good sunscreen with spf 30 atleast half an hour before going out in the sun.
If the symptoms still persist then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
