What Causes Itching Red Rashes/blisters All Over The Body?
I came back from a holiday in Bali with red rashes and mini blisters on my skin all over my body. It is very itchy but I can't scratch because it makes it worse. I have been to the doctor but he doesn't know what it is. I have the feeling I was allergic to the pool water there. Each time I came out of the pool I had massive red rashes and scary round blisters. Not sure what it was as my husband didn't get any of these. He just got an ear infection. It's been now too weeks. The blisters are now mini but the rashes are all over my body and it keeps me from sleeping at night. Any idea? Thanks

The symptoms you had mentioned are mostly suggestive of some fungal infection. For treatment you can take antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or avil for severe itching. You can take fluconazole 150mg once daily for at-least 5 days or use candid-b powder or betnovate-c cream for local application. Don't worry it will be fine.
