What Does A Blister Type Rash On Arms Indicate?

I had a rash on my right arm not far from the elbow , well more like blisters than a rash. The blisters popped and it started to scare over. Now, while the same blisters are healing, a new set of blisters have appeared. can you get herpes on your arms?
