Suggest Treatment For Itchy Blisters On The Right Breast

I have two similiar sized blistered areas on my right breast near my nipple. They appear spaced too far apart to be a spider bite. The area is itchy and the blistered areas are each about the size of a pencil eraser. I have had this for about two weeks. I have been applying Neosporin, but the area is still raised and angry looking.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that there may be a fungal infection along with the bacterial infection , this may be reason for no improvement.
Fungal infections are usually itchy and even with treatment, they can take 2 to 3 weeks to resolve because they are slow responding.

You should consider seeing your doctor for an assessment, an oral anti
fungal may be needed instead of a topical agent.
A short course of a topical steroid may also be needed as well to reduce the inflammation (redness).

The combination ( anti fungal, antibiotic and steroid cream) would help the infection to resolve.

I hope this helps
