How Can Skin Fungus And Itchy Blisters Be Treated?

Hi, I would like to know how to cure a skin fungus? I got some itchy blisters around my waist and the inside of the thighs and some on the back, when I scratch them it turn into a blood blister and the skin peels. It is real annoying and painful. Thank you for your help.
