First thought it was scabbies

I’m going to try to describe as best as I can.

I have a skin rash that first developed on the lower abdomen (beltway), shoulders, underarm, wrist, and elbows. It is moderately itchy. The areas looked a little larger than a mosquito bite but smaller than a spider bite rash when you scratch it. In the center of each rash there would be a tiny little clear blister; when broken releases what seems to be water.

New rashes have popped up on the top of my feet, between my toes and my legs. The ones on my legs are kind of hard and there’s a cluster of blisters in the middle instead of just one. I also had two on my face and a couple on the back of my neck. The ones on my face and neck aren’t really itchy and I almost never scratch them. I also have one on top of a finger, one between my fingers, and one on top of backhand.

After a couple of days some of them go away and there remains just the center little head part that used to be a blister.


First, I thought it might be scabies because it was at all the places that scabies take place, but it is not intensely itchy like scabies apparently is, it doesn’t really look like scabies (I could be wrong), and then I got it on my face and neck I don’t think you get scabbies in those places.

What are some other plausible possibilities?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
