Posted on Sat, 10 Sep 2016
Question: My friend got a tattoo on his forearm about a month ago.
He started having blisters on his palms and bottom of his feet. Some were itching. Now some blisters are beginning to appear on other parts of his body.
He is in quarantine in the hospital in San Antoniobut none of the doctors have any idea what it is.
Could it be herpes from the tattoo or do you have any ideas. XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
allergic reaction,fucibet cetrizine will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.I can understand your concern.

Itchy blisters over both hand and feet are due to allergic reaction.

It can be due to some insect bites,drugs,contact with plants ,seeds ,chemicals etc.

Herpetic lesions are more painful rather than itchy.

I will advise him to apply a combination cream like fucibet.It is available on counters.This along with oral antihistamincs like cetrizine will help in reducing itching and blisters.

I hope this will help you.In case of any concern i will be happy to help you.Take care.

My friends blisters are pus filled. As soon as they take a sample, the blister of pus quickly refills. Moving to other parts of the body. About 200 blisters on the bottom of feet and palms od hands.
Why would they be filled with pus and not a clear serum?
