What Causes Blisters On Back With Itchiness?

I have small blisters on the back of my arms and along my legs. The blisters itch and break. Some of the blisters turn into a black and blue lump. I have tried changing some of my medicine, but there has been no significant change. The doctor has checked for gluten, but this has come back negative. This condition has been going on for almost a year. There is no pain major itching. Any suggestions will be helpful. RM
