What Causes Blood Blisters On The Legs And Hands?
I have been noticing that my skin easily scratches when I bump something. Lately, instead of scratches, I m getting little, dark raised bumps -- blood blisters? If I have an itch on my leg, hands, or arm, it turns into scratches and now these little blisters. What could this be? Should I see a doctor? Nothing hurts or itches -- just looks like a cat is attacking me!

Hi.
As per your case history of blood blisters, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition and lead to newer lesions.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
