What are these big itchy bumps on my daughters legs, feet, ankles, hands, arms, and back?

My daughter started getting these well over 2 mos. ago. We took her to the doctor and she said they were flea bites and would go away.We bombed all of the rooms about half a month ago but she is still getting these bites. Need I mention our dog died about 1 month and a few days ago.

Hello,
Blisters and itchy rash on skin of children can be due to viral infections or allergic reaction. I suggest you to get her evaluated from a pediatrician rather than trying any medicines on your own. Another possibility can be insect bites or scabies bites.

Till that time, avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil and apply calamine lotion on the itchy skin. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice.
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.
