Alright, I don't know if this is the "rash" everyone has been talking about, but the only similar thing I've had to what I have now has been poison ivy. I've got this stuff around the toes on my left foot and "yipes", on my right index finger. It blisters like poison ivy and looks like it and itches like it, but when it dries up and disappears more fresh itching blisters reappear...this craps been going on for almost 3 months now and I can't get rid of it...went to the pharmacy and they gave me a cream for my foot and one for my finger...has anyone had this or know what it is or what I'm talking about...how do I kill this crap, been a pain in the ---. thanks...

Might be athlete's foot fungus. I had symptoms similar to yours, brown itchy blisters that would reappear sporadically, always in the same location. Anyway, what I had was just athlete's foot, which is a pain in the ass to self-diagnose if you've never had it before.

Edit: Oh, and the stuff I bought to get rid of it was a cream called Ruvina, I believe. Anyway, google up athlete's foot and see if the pictures match your symptoms. I believe there are several different varieties, though, thank god, I only have experience with the one kind.

I also had this itchy blister thing...the blister stayed for about a day, then turned into what looked like an overscratched mosquito bite! Congregated into 2 different areas.
Went to the doctor, he said it was a skin infection that mostly only children get...He gave me colourful pills, some cream, and within a week everything was ok.
