What Do Blisters On The Chest And Waist Indicate?
I have been being treated for the last week for muscle strain. I have been taking a muscle relaxant and that is better. Three days ago, I began breaking out in a rash with small blisters it has spread in bands around my chest/above my waist. I am now starting to look as it heals like I have bruising. It itches, but not as much as one would think it does. I have been treating it with hydrocortisone and an antibiotic ointment.

Hi thank you for querry,
in your case there are lot of differential diagnosis such herpes zoster,allergic contact dermatitis,cellulits,aphthous stomatitis.
most commonly in varicella zoster or shingles vesicular eruption with pain and some time sensory loss on distribution area.
the vesicall clouds rupture crust amd eventually fade
it is usually diagnosed on the basia of history and clinical examination.
you must consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and acyclovir therapy if it proved otherwise.
