Dermatological pathologies, as a rule, do not pose a threat to health, but they cause serious discomfort to their owner and often even cause a decrease in performance. What should you do if blisters appear on your body, they itch like insect bites, and cause pain and discomfort? Of course, you should visit a dermatologist and get qualified advice. However, you can often independently determine the reason why the blisters, similar to bites, itch and hurt. The article presents a list of the main pathologies that cause such symptoms and treatment methods.
Classification and manifestation of fluid blisters
Blisters on the skin that contain fluid inside are classified according to the following classification:
- Symptomatic;
- Allergic blisters;
- Mechanical effect on the skin.
Symptomatic blisters
This type of formation is one of the main symptoms of an infectious disease.
Formations appear as follows:
- Small blisters form;
- The formation contains a clear liquid;
- The thin film on the formation is quickly damaged and turns into a wound;
- It can form in almost any part of the body.
Allergy blisters
They are a symptom of skin surface contact with an allergen. Very often, allergic rashes appear after using low-quality cosmetics or contact with plants.
Formations appear as follows:
- Redness appears on the skin, which turns into a large number of small blisters with liquid;
- The formations create a large number of unpleasant sensations for a person, including a feeling of itching;
- They tend to disappear quickly after using antihistamines;
- Most often they appear on the arms, shoulders and legs.
As a result of mechanical action on the skin
The appearance of such blisters is promoted by contact with hot objects and direct sunlight, as well as damage to the epidermis.
Such formations have the following properties:
- Large blisters;
- Occurs directly at points of contact;
- Can persist for a long time;
- Upon palpation, a person feels pain;
- After the bubble is damaged, a wound is formed in its place;
- Most often they occur on the arms, legs, and shoulders.
When this kind of blisters appears on the body, it is forbidden to comb them and damage their integrity, otherwise infection may occur and the disease may worsen.
Atopic dermatitis: symptoms and treatment methods
The causes of atopic dermatitis are still unknown for sure. It can appear in both infants and adults. As a rule, at first the skin simply turns red. Over time, itching, burning, and small blisters begin to appear. “Favorite” places for atopic dermatitis: cheeks, lower back, shoulder blades, calves, forearms.
There is only one non-drug way to get rid of the manifestations of atopic dermatitis: a strict diet. As a rule, through selection, those products are determined, against the background of which dermatitis becomes less and eventually disappears completely.
There are also medicinal methods of treatment: for example, Advantan cream is highly active due to the content of corticosteroids in its composition. Already on the second or third day of treatment, the patient feels significant relief. The disadvantage of this remedy is that, as a rule, after stopping the drug, all the symptoms return again. The main key to the success of treatment is to eradicate the cause that caused the blisters to appear. Itchy legs, like insect bites, but there are no other symptoms - it is likely that the cause of this condition is atopic dermatitis.
Causes
The appearance of blisters on the skin can occur for various reasons. Each type of disease has its own characteristics and requires special diagnostics.
Infectious diseases
Damage to the body by infectious diseases contributes to malfunctions of internal organs, which often appear on the skin in the form of various types of blisters with fluid inside.
Infectious diseases include:

Very often, bite allergies manifest as blisters that form around the bites.
These blisters go away on their own within a short time.
Hives
Urticaria (Uriticaria)
Sometimes also called nettle rash, urticaria is a dermatological condition characterized by pale red or white, raised, itchy rashes (blisters), each surrounded by a small red spot on the skin. The condition of the skin is very similar to a nettle burn.
According to Dermnetz.org, these blisters can be large, ranging in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters, making them look like swelling on the skin.
Hives are often associated with allergies, although there are many non-allergic causes. Allergic reactions promote the release of histamine and basophils, which then lead to damage to small blood vessels.
The rash may appear within minutes and go away within a few hours, and usually tends to change over time. The shape of the blisters varies from round and ring-shaped to uneven, reminiscent of a geographical map.
Although in most cases symptoms disappear in less than 24 hours, new blisters may appear as old ones clear up, sometimes migrating throughout the body.
Treatment
Hives are not a serious condition in most cases, and treatment is usually not required.
However, you can soothe the itching by taking an oral antihistamine, such as Zyrtec or Benadryl, or by applying calamine lotion. A cool bath may also help.
It is recommended to avoid exposure to any environmental elements or foods that may be a potential trigger for allergic reactions.
If this condition persists, you should consult your doctor. Steroid creams may need to be prescribed for a short period of time to reduce swelling. Antileukotriene therapy may also be prescribed to control histamine release.

In infants, formations with fluid may appear for the following reasons:
- Herpes – watery pimples appear in the mouth, nose and genitals. After a few days, the blister becomes purulent and can spread to healthy areas of the skin;
- Streptoderma is the formation of large purulent blisters on the skin, most often appearing in the face area, after which it spreads throughout the body;
- Enterovirus is a viral infection of the body in which blisters with liquid appear, which tend to form in almost any part of the body;
- Pemphigus is the appearance of a watery rash with a rim around the formation. Most often occurs in the oral cavity on the abdomen and arms;
- Allergic rash - most often occurs on food, appears on the face in the form of papules with purulent content;
- Miliaria is a fairly common phenomenon in newborn children, especially in the summer, in the heat, since their skin is very sensitive to temperature changes and any other irritants.
Very often, blisters appear on the skin of newborns as a result of poor-quality clothing that causes irritation.
Therapy
The course of medications is prescribed only by a doctor. Self-medication when a rash occurs is unacceptable; it often becomes a threat to the patient and the people around him. Treatment for itchy blisters is aimed at eliminating the underlying cause, after which the rash begins to disappear.
It is forbidden to scratch the rash or intentionally open its elements; this sometimes leads to infection of the wounds. The bubbles should burst spontaneously.
Traditional medicine

Every person who is faced with the problem of a skin disease, like no one else, can tell you what unpleasant sensations itching and burning of the skin causes.
When this kind of discomfort occurs, you want to find out the causes of any formations on the skin as soon as possible in order to quickly eliminate them.
Most often, the body becomes blistered and itchy.
Such formation interferes with a person’s normal life activities, since the blister itches. What is the reason for their appearance and methods of treatment - we will talk about this in our article.
Causes of blisters in children
In childhood, the following factors most often contribute to the appearance of blisters:
- Chicken pox is caused by an infection that is transmitted by airborne droplets. The disease begins its symptoms in the facial area and gradually spreads to the whole body;
- Herpes zoster manifests itself as small blisters that become cloudy after three to four days. Most often it forms in the head, back, shoulders, arms;
- Burns – occur under the influence of external factors on the child’s skin and are manifested by the formation of large blisters with liquid.
In addition, common causes of watery acne are allergic reactions and malfunctions of internal organs.
Bad habits as a factor in the appearance of blisters
If a patient has been suffering from dermatological pathologies for a long time, and neither pharmacological drugs nor diet help him get rid of them, then he should think about his lifestyle. How often does the patient drink alcoholic beverages and does he smoke? These bad habits slowly but inevitably “undermine” the body’s defenses; over time, large blisters appear on the body, itching like bites - this is a symptom of dermatological pathologies. Over time, the body can become so exhausted that it is simply unable to resist even the spread of fungal spores.
If no treatment helps with the appearance of dermatitis and blisters, or only helps for a short period of time, then you should think about the need to completely stop smoking and drinking alcohol, even in small quantities. Judging by the experience and reviews of people who were able to get rid of dermatitis, this method really helps. At the same time, you should minimize or completely avoid the consumption of salt and sugar.
Causes of acne with fluid during pregnancy
Any type of rash on the body during pregnancy may indicate the presence of malfunctions in the functioning of internal organs and requires detailed diagnosis.
The most common reasons:
- Urticaria is most often formed as a result of the body’s reaction to food. Localized in the arms, abdomen, face. Accompanied by itching and looks like blisters with liquid contents;
- Miliaria - occurs most often in the last stages of pregnancy in the summer. Pimples with liquid contents form in the folds of the skin and under the abdomen; after damage to the membrane, a crust forms that itches and burns;
- Chicken pox - affects women if they have not previously had this type of disease;
- Dermatosis of pregnant women - forms in places where stretch marks form and manifests itself as blisters of a transparent color. Very often, this type of rash goes away on its own and does not require special treatment.
In addition to the main types of diseases that affect the period of bearing a child, a woman is not protected from the risk of contracting herpes or scabies, which also have symptoms such as the formation of blisters on the body.
Why does the body itch?
The reasons for itching the body in different places may be different. Among them are general and skin diseases, allergies, and insect bites. To establish the cause of persistent itching, you need to consult a doctor who will offer to donate blood and urine for general clinical tests. If an allergy is suspected, appropriate tests are used, which allows you to quickly identify the allergen and remove it from the environment or menu.
Rash on the body due to allergies
If a person is prone to allergic reactions, then upon contact with an allergen, the brain sends a signal about a large release of histamine, a hormone that causes the sensation of itching. Prolonged scratching of the skin can lead to infection and the onset of an inflammatory process. Usually the body itches in different places in turn and does not go away for a long time precisely due to an allergy to something. If such symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor who will determine the allergen. It often happens that a person has not complained about negative reactions all his life, but suddenly an allergy to the most common product appears.
In cases where the body itches in different places and spots appear, the skin becomes covered with rashes, whether it is an allergy or not can be established in a simple way.
You need to lightly press the area with the rash with your finger, and then quickly remove it, as in the photo. If the rash is of allergic origin, then the spot will remain pale for a while after you remove your finger. If the itching and rash are related to skin diseases or infections, then after removing the finger the rash will not change color, but will remain red.
Infectious diseases
Having carried out your own diagnosis using this method, still do not delay going to the doctor. Any skin rash may be a sign of infectious diseases:
Rash on the body due to rubella
- measles;
- scarlet fever;
- measles rubella;
- chickenpox and others.
In children, these infections are usually mild, but adults suffer from childhood illnesses with difficulty. The sooner the disease is identified and treated, the less consequences there will be.
In addition to skin diseases, the body itches in different places and red spots appear after insect bites. These include:
Spot after a tick bite
- mites;
- bees and wasps;
- mosquitoes;
- ground fleas and others.
- The body reacts to the poison that gets under the skin with a rush of blood, which, together with insect toxins, leads to burning and itching.
Skin diseases
If at first the body itches in different places, then changes in the skin appear in the form of spots, as in the photo, this is typical for psoriasis.
Psoriasis spots
Other diseases that affect the skin:
- lichen planus;
- seborrhea;
- dermatitis of various origins;
- mycosis (fungus);
- xeroderma (mild form of ichthyosis).
All of these diseases can be treated with medications with varying degrees of success.
First aid
