Sounds like you have the chicken pox. Make an appointment with your Dr. ASAP. You are going to need it!!! It won't be long til those little blisters start to itch and when they do scratching is the last thing you will want to do. Scratching not only will leave scares but can also lead to infections that can be very serious in people who are over the age of 10. The Dr. can give you something for the itch, as well as, something to dry up the blisters and of course an antibiotic.

I had the chicken pox's when I was in my late 20's and had to be hospitalized. Make sure you drink lots of water!!! Good luck I wish you well!!!!!!!

You really should see a doctor, any fever can progress and be dangerous. re your question about chicken pox: do they itch? if not, then it's probably not that. I was out of school about 2 weeks with the chicken pox as a kid, and they itched like crazy. You may have hives, too; there are so many things that could cause that, a doctor is really the best option. You might also try calamine lotion for relief in the mean time.

Blisters are quite common for anyone who regularly participates in sports. Most athletes just accept them as the price you pay to play, but there are measures to avoid them, or decrease the pain and risk of infection if you get one.

Cause
Blisters typically develop when their is friction and irritation to the surface layer of the skin and cause it to seperate from the second layer. Fluid fills in the space between these two layers. You get blisters most often on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands The hands and feet often rub against shoes, socks or sports equipment and create friction and these moist, warm conditions are perfect for blisters.

Prevention
To prevent blisters, the goal is to minimize friction. Appropriate footwear, and socks will help reduce blisters.

Make sure your shoes are the right size and shape. Wear socks made from synthetic blends. You can also apply petroleum jelly or talcum power before exercise to reduce friction.

Blister Care
If you get a blister, the goal is to keep the blister from getting bigger and avoiding infection. (Signs of infection include pus draining from the blister, very red or warm skin around the blister, and red streaks leading away from the blister). Small unbroken blisters that don't cause discomfort can be left alone to heal, because the best protection against infection is a blister's own skin. Large, painful blisters can be drained but don't remove the top layer of skin. First clean the blister with rubbing alcohol or antibiotic soap and water. Then sterilize a needle over a flame until the tip glows red; allow it to cool, and the puncture a small hole at the edge of the blister. Drain the fluid by applying gentle pressure. Put a bit of antibiotic ointment on the blister and cover with a bandage.
