What Is The Treatment For Itchy And Tiny Blisters On Calf?

i have a cluster of very itchy tiny blisters that have formed a circle on my calf. i had the same thing about a year ago right above where it is now and another one on my foot. both healed on their own with time. how do i treat this. and since it looks like a recurring thing i m afraid i might get another one if this one is healed?

Hi,

There can be multiple of possibilities of the recurrent blisters on calf. You have not mentioned your age, sex and occupation in your history so that i would have helped you better. After reading your history I can tentatively make a diagnosis of allergic rash turning into blister. You search for any specific cause before its development.

Take a course of antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin or cefadroxyl 500 mg twice daily for secondary infection. Do not pinch, pop or squeeze the area. Give proper rest to the affected leg and keep it raised. For pain part you can take tablet paracetamol or diclofenac two times. If at all it id recurring then can meet a dermatologist for best possible diagnosis.

Take care.
