tiny itchy blisters on arms & legs

[twilightburl]

Shamefully, for almost 8 years I have been getting very small itchy blisters on various spots on my arms and legs.  The small blisters develop and immediately itch intensely, which is how I know they're there.  They have a clear fluid inside, with no puss.  When I scratch them in my sleep or when they break, they often weep a little  amber colored liquid.  Also, when I scratch them, more tiny blisters will develop around the original blister, signifying an infection.  These broken blisters often leave  (little open sores) which can be difficult and slow to heal.  These outbreaks seem to come in waves, as I'll often go weeks or even a month or two without a sign of blisters, itching, or infection.  I have never had any white puss or swelling redness around these troublesome blisters/vesicles, which isn't like any normal skin infection I've ever had before.  Can anyone help me diagnosis this problem please?

  any good diagnosis for anyone?  I suffer from the same thing, randomly at different times for no reason.. mine seem to start when mosquito bites are apparent, but new tiny scratches which turn into sores, scabs, burning itching appear even when I have no new bites from mosquitos.   thank you

Hi, I am a fellow sufferer and really enjoyed what you wrote.  Thank you very much for sharing your findings.  I suddenly came down with the same affliction in Jun 2014 and have been told by my doctor that it's stress related.  I only have sensitive skin, never had eczema although I suffer from mild asthma.  

Unfortunately for me, new tiny blisters keep coming up where the old patches have more or less healed so I have yet to have blister-free days since this problem started.

I have had this twice now. I'm literally going crazy with the itching. It started on my hands, feet, and the back of my neck in the hair line. Then it moved to arms and torso both times. I too went to the doctor and was prescribed prednisone but it didn't help and the medicine made me miserable as well. I have used Cortisone creams and sprays, Sarna lotion and prescribe cream but nothing helps.The first time I also had sores in my nose but didn't think they were related chalking it up to sinuses or allergies. This second time I had the same thing but not as bad as the first but it actually happened a few days before the rash broke out, so now I'm beginning to think they are somehow related. Has anybody else had any issues with their noses? I'm wondering if I'm not breathing in something that is triggering it? Also, the only thing that I have found to give me some temporary relief both times is Gold Bond Medicated Powder and Claritin (taken for several days).

they are from chiggers, they inject you when bitten to eat skin then they become really itchy, some blister, some scab and there are holes, some can get infected.

I have found the cure after trying everything....

Triamcilone acetonide.

You can get it OTC in Nasacort nasal spray. Just spray you know where a few times in the evening (when it itched the most fir me). Five days later and everything is gone. Like a miracle.

my blisters are about the size of a pimple and water filled like a burn and itch like hell I normally scratch them till they bleed which relieves the itching a bit but not altogether I once asked my doctor what this was and he said it was dry skin funniest looking dry skin iv ever seen so I havnt bothered 4 about 6yrs but I would love for them to go away x
