They look like ringworm, but only one was curved shape. The first time they showed up after I jumped into an untreated swimming pool. A month later, one showed up next to an old one. They show up over night and disappear a day or two later.
The doctor says I have folliculitus, but I disagree becuase I have no hair where the blister shows up. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I've got?

You CAN have foliculitis where there is no hair growing.

I'd wonder if they're always in the same spot?

If not, and you seem to get them when you're outdoors, I'd question whether or not you'd brushed against some poison ivy. You can still innoculate yourself with your clothes after you've gotten home even. And poison ivy doesnt always itch horriblly for everyone...

Are you becoming sensitive to latex. Are the blisters showing up where a bathing suit touches or not? Maybe you are getting allergic to the suntan cream if this is on skin untouched by a suit?
