How To Cure Rashes And Blisters On Shoulder Blade?
In the last week or so I ve had a itch on my right shoulder blade. Never looked at what was itching. Today it felt like it was getting bigger and that when I rubbed on a cabinet in the house to scratch it, it hurt like a open wound. So I asked the wife to look at it and she said it looks like a rash. So I looked it in the bathroom mirror and to me it looks like a over sized bug bite surrounded half way around with small imbedded fever blisters. there looks like another one developing off to the right of the original one. Right now my whole upper back feels like I need to scratch it, it feels tingling. The tingling is workings it s way over to my right arm pit.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for rashes and blisters on shoulder blade.
In my opinion it appears to be allergic contact dermatitis due to an contact allergen. In this condition there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness.
If I were your dermatologist then would have suggested you to apply medium to high potency steroid cream application such as fluticasone or mometasone along with an antihistamine such as Loratadine twice daily.
All the best.
