Itching skin that blisters

Have you been checked for Celiac Disease? In 2011 I also had a very itchy, blistering skin rash all over my front and back. No doctor seemed to know what it was, but 5 years later I tested positive for Celiac Disease. There is a skin rash called Dermatitis Herpetiformis that can be a symptom of Celiac. The GI dr thinks it might have been Dermatitis Herpetiformis that I had, and when I see pictures, I think so too. Go to a GI dr and get tested for Celiac. It is an inherited autoimmune problem.
It could also be Shingles, but Shingles usually forms a line of blisters that itch and burns at same time.

Hi @moorearlene1966 and welcome to Connect. You may have noticed that I moved your discussion to the Skin Health group so that you can connect with others who have similar symptoms. Simply click VIEW & REPLY in your email notification to get to your post.

I wanted to thank @alrey2 for responding to your post and also wanted to introduce you to fellow Connect members @zeiracorp and @gardeningjunkie as they have experience with similar skin conditions and may be bale to offer you support.

Back to you @moorearlene1966 how long have these blisters been affecting you?

Skin rashes are very hard to diagnose as there are so many diseases, allergies or contact issues that can cause them. You are right for try to figure this out, but you must also see a dermatologist. A real must as it takes a specialist. You still need to arm yourself with knowledge and begin learning on your own A very good, simple and clear site that describes skin diseases and shows pages of photos of skin rashes you can study to compare and help diagnosis and give your rash a name is the New Zealand Dermatology Site, dermnetnz.org. I have 3 forms of eczema and your symptoms don't sound like mine, yet there are a dozen forms of eczema. This site would also have information on the dermatitis mentioned by airey2.
Also helpful for us bloggers is background information like Ethan mentioned- how long have you had these blisters, what doctors you have seen, what tests they have performed and what treatments you have tried. If they gave you a name and nothing is helping you may be misdiagnosed as some of use have been or there may be treatments or avoidance of contacts for your condition which helped us we could share with you.

I have stage five (5) renal disease and have been experiencing unbearable itching of the scalp, both sides of the temple region, foreams, lower portions of the legs, stomach and back. Small bumps form on and under the skin which seem to be the source of the itching and I have nine doctors including a Nephologist (Kidney Doctor) none of which have been able to prescribe anything to relieve the itching. I recently had a Dermotologist remove three skin tags which were a major source of the itching as well as a black surface level mole for a biopsy with no results reported to date. I found a container with some very old (40+ years old) medicated pads in my linen closet called "Up & Up" which were still moist in an unopened jar and contained 50% Witch Hazel, a product of Target Corporation. The container label stated the medicated pads were for the relief of itching as well as other discomfort caused by hemoroids. The container also stated to compare with "Tucks" (?). Two days after applying the moisture pads to the rash on the lower portion of my legs the unhealed wounds from scratching the rash began to clear up and the itching was substantially reduced. I am sharing this story in the hopes of helping others who may have a similar itching problem and to reach out to anyone who may be able to shed additional light on this subject.

When kidney function is decreased it does limit
some available treatments. Breakdown of some drugs
and elimination from our urine can be diminished.
It would be helpful if your derm and kidney specialists
are in communication and aware of all your meds.
Some topicals are absorbed in different amount through
our skin so watch warning labels. They should offer some advice on bathing, shampoos and moisturizers.
Itching from kidney problems is difficult to control so
you may need press your skin specialist to take more interest in your condition. Keep records on your lab
results and do your research. Hope you get some good
suggestions here from others.

Thank you for your feedback!
I look forward to any and all feedback that is available which may help me as well as others suffering from constant itching..

Good evening @kidrob3410. Tonight, I was reviewing new posts on Connect; your last line, "suffering from constant itching," stopped me immediately. For almost five years, I was "attacked" by constant itching. Some of the itching inside resulted from the "Neuropathic Itch." Atopic dermatitis ran me ragged on the surface, trying to keep my hands from scratching constantly. My dermatologist helped me discover a product called "Dermeleve." It works for about 6 hours after working it into my skin. I never leave home without it, even though I have finally received approval for Dupixent.

The newest Dermaleve product is called Anti-itch Scalp Serum, and my scalp responds perfectly when the itch becomes super annoying. To check these items out, go to dermeleve.com. Both products are OTC.

If your itch is internal, you may want to look at Dupixent, an infusion you inject every two weeks. This product is frequently mentioned for help with Asthma. However, it has brought my itching both inside and outside to a complete halt. You can find information at dupixent.com.

I am happy to help you with your anti-itch search anytime. Suffering from constant itching can be a tragic irritation to your quality of life.

May you be safe, free and protected from inner and outer harm.

Sounds like Bullous Pemphigoid to me. My husband had it. He takes injections of Dupixent for it. Very nasty autoimmune skin condition. But treatable. You should get a dermatologist to check it out.

Chris,
Thank you very much for your time and feedback.
