Blisters on my face

[Lex81]

I am 26 years old and I have been suffering with this condition all of my life and the Doctors do not seem to know what it is.  

I suffer with blisters that have appeared on my cheeks, lips, eyes, ears, neck and once on my thigh.  When they erupt they are very itchy and are not noticeable to look at.  This is the most infectious stage- if I touch it at this time it will spread.  The next day a cluster of blisters will appear and the area swells immensely.  The cluster is usually no bigger than a five-pence piece, but the swelling makes it look ten times worse.  Over the next two days these blisters are filled with pus and as they burst they start to scab over.  Once the scab has dropped off, everything is back to normal- except I usually have a new scar.  The process usually lasts for about a week.  They tend to come up as an adult when I extremely stressed.  I also thought that there may be a link to cow's milk so I switched to soya milk, but unfortunately, that hasn't stopped them from returning.

I would just like to know what this condition is, so that I can find ways to prevent it coming back if possible.

I am 36 and I have been suffering from fever blisters since I was 20.  I recently discovered a cream that helped and after years of suffering and embarrasment I no longer have to put up with it.  I would like to share this with everyone because it changed my life.  The doctor perscribed a cream to my daughter (7) when she had a skin condition on her leg so I tried it on my face and it worked! I have been using this cream for the last year and it even took away a normal cold sore that I had on my mouth.  The cream worked instantly and you have to apply it the minute you feel the itching.  The cream is called HYDROZOLE (It is a broad spectrum anti-fungal and anti-flammatory cream for sensitive inflamed fungal skin conditions).  You will have to ask your doctor to perscribe it as it cannot be purchased over the counter (in Australia). It contains 1% cortisone and 1% clotrimazole.  You will only need to apply a very small amount once or maybe twice.  Make sure you only apply it on the affected area. The itching will stop and the blisters won't get a chance to form.  I had a fever blister on Monday and you can hardly see it two days later.  I hope that I will be able to help anyone with this condition and please share it with others if you find it worked for you.

I have had something sort of tsimilar only mine pops up in the same EXACT spot one to two times each year, like clockwork, and always the same spot, my middle right cheek by my nose, and always the same thing, the same size and same symptoms. No doctor can tell me what it is, no test or meds help. It starts red, turns into tiny round little clear bumps of watery liquid,when scratched off leave a small round dot like hole in my flesh.Usually several in a circular shaped formation only in ne place, Its never spread its never itvhed but otherwise sounds similar. Sometimes itll swell up underneath my skin too right under the sore, and I always thought it was just swelling. But one time I got so upset, I took a razorblade and lanced my own face open to see, and orangy watery blood by the ounce poured out. I wiped it every few seconds, and used half a roll of T.P. before it ceased, and only then did it stop because it clotted. In a few days time it scabs and heals even if I do not mess with it. Then later in the year, it comes back same exact spot, same thing again. Had 40 tests done, nothing found a cure or diagnosis. Calamine lotion dries it up a bit, but nothing really works. Hydrogen peroxide I've used too.I wish anyone could help me too! I wish I could help you all too!

Try not to use any face wash or masks or creams with alot of harsh chemicals in them as I find this worsens the problem.
I have suffered with them for years and I find simply rubbing on baby jelly must contain Aloe Vera and not touching the area until it is subsided helps it go away, but it always lies just bellow the surface of your skin so remember no harsh chemicals on your skin hope this helps:)

I have been dealing with these "blister" type bumps that most of you are describing- for years. It's kind of odd though because its like I get all different sorts of lesions. Some seem like cystic acne and are REALLY painful. Those lesions are deep in the skin. Well, I got most of that taken care of, but I still get these blister like lesions that come out of nowhere. They are not painful at all, sometimes they itch- but not really. But once I get one, they spread very quickly. Some of them look like they have whiteheads- but don't while others do, some have many. Regardless, most of them drain clear fluid afterwards. They seem to be triggered more by heat, sweat, and stress, but not always.  They mostly come up in the same, exact areas. I have noticed that these "blisters" have occasionally began popping up on my children's faces, maybe one or two. I know that this is an old forum, but it seem to be still active. I am 28 and I have never had this problem until I had kids, though I am sure that has nothing to do with it. Currently, I am taking spiroaldactone for the cystic acne, l-lysine for possible viral cold sores, and I have been on and off of antibiotics for years. Everything has kind of helped, but not completely. I am just not sure if I have a mixture of different infections going on or if it is all the same thing.
