What Causes Painful Rashes On The Arms And Back?
Hi Dr. Rynne, I developed a few days ago a painful rash on my arm and back that has clear blisters and seems to be spreading. I ve been scrubbing it with an antimicrobial solution (OTC from Walgreens) but doesn t seem to be working. And I now have soreness in my armpit, lymph nodes I presume. Thoughts?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Possible causes are impetigo or chicken pox or bullous pemphigoid or pemphigus vulgaris etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your doctor immediately he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
