REPLIED to Info Request

could you describe the blistery bumps more specifically, does she have a fever? Do they scab over? Do they come and go?

the blisters are clear with fluid in them and become about the size of my daughters pinky nail, they do eventually bust if bumped and they do scab over, she does not have a fever or any other symptoms, her appetite is good and spirits are high, besides the annoying itch and the pain of the blisters, and they do come and go, it just will not completely go oaway, they just keep repeating their cycle.

the blisters are clear and filled with fluid, they become about the size of my daughters pinky nail, she does not have a fever with them, her appetite is good and spirits are high, they do eventually scab over but start forming again, they do burst in bumped and are painful when they reach a certain size, some are located in uncomfortable areas like around the edges of her heels and ankles, but prodominently on her arms and mainly of one hand really bad.
