Most likely related to sunburn.

Hi

Large clear blisters suggest that this may be a burn or a solar allergy. However, you have been out in the sun at most times and this is the first time that this happened.

I would suggest that you have this assessed by your physician. You may need topical medications for this and an antibacterial medication also. Avoid prolonged sun exposures and have this treated by your physician. There are several types of burns and this may vary in extent and depth of tissues involved.

Hi

Blisters may appear after a burn. How large are these blisters? Are they multiple blisters?

Blisters secondary to burn may suggest a deeper tissue involvement. However , this is just a differential. Other differentials for your skin condition is a bacterial infection. Blisters may occur secondary to a Staphylococcal or streptococcal skin infection. Was there any history of a sore throat or any flulike symptoms?

um no there was no sore throat before but 2 or 3 months ago I had strep throat.Also these blisters start at the joint of where my arm bends to my shoulder plate area they are pretty large
