Hello,
One of the possibilities for such blisterlike bumps under the armpits is bullous pemphigoid. It is a skin disorder characterized by large blisters and symptoms come and go. Skin lesion biopsy can be used to confirm the diagnosis for which I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist.

Hello,
It is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis without examination but it can be insect bites, bullous staph infection or bullous pemphigoid. For the itching please take some over the counter antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin. Also get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get a culture of the discharge from the blister done.

Quite rare to get bullous pemphigoid in your age group. Have you been on any medications? A drug rash could present like this.
I am not on Cellcept which is Mycophenolate Mofetil 1g morning and 1g night. This is a fantastic immunposuppressant. Basically what I am telling you is that at any time your body cannot any longer tolerate one drug, there is always another waiting. The one I am on now is more 'pure' in other words there are less chemicals in in to effect the liver.
It might be worth a mention if you are uncertain but many people are able to tolerate your medication for many years.
Hello,
From the symptoms, it can be plant contact dermatitis, epidermolysis bullosa, insect bites, erythema multiforme , herpes sores or bullous pemphigoid. Take antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin and apply some calamine lotion as it helps in soothing the skin. Also consult a dermatologist as topical and oral steroids may be needed.

From what you describe these seem to be vesicular or bullous lesions - which could be due to herpes simplex, herpes zoster, impetigo or pemphigoid.
Are these present at specific sites or all over your face?
You should reconsult with your dermatologist to find out the definite diagnosis , so that further management can be planned accordingly.
