Itchy Blisters on my left heel.

[peachace]

I first got these blisters 4years ago when I was pregnate with my daughter.  The Dr did not know what they were, he gave me some cream and they didn't go away, it took a couple of months to go away.  I got them again when my daughter was 1 1/2, My new Dr thought it might be herpes.  But it wasn't.  Now I am 35weeks preg and I am getting them again.  I don't know what they are and it is really bugging me.  I read on here about friction blisters  but that can't be what it is because all I wear is flip flops.  The artical said that if the area was not exposed to friction then it is a sign of illness.  What illness I have no idea.    They are not red or anything like that.  It is just a cluster of itchy blisters.  Thank You Very Much:)  Have A Blessed Day:)

It might be a ringworm "The infection assumes one of three forms: localized between the toes; chronic infestation of the soles and sides of the feet; or itchy, fluid-filled blisters on the in-step, heel and ball of the foot. "

Hello,
One possibility that is crossing my mind is pemphigoid gestationis.It is a rare autoimmune blistering skin disease that occurs during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester and/or immediately following pregnancy. It was originally called herpes gestationis because of the blistering appearance.

I would suggest a dermatologist’s evaluation and a biopsy and immmunoflorescence staining of the biopsy samples to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
