I have been having outbreaks of blisters and itchy patches on my legs and stomach and feet for about 3 weeks. It comes and goes and after the itching is gone, it leaves a bruise. What is it? Does anyone know of a site where i can list my symptoms and get a free diagnosis online?

Could really be a number of things...hives or an allergic reaction sounds like the likely culprit.

Sounds like it might be hives. Do you have insanely itchy welts with red edges? I've had hives that bruise before, although not in a long time. Could be dermatitis as someone else suggested. Have you started using a new laundry soap or fabric softener lately? New bath soap? New clothes with a material that you haven't worn before? If so, try eliminating the possibilities one at a time. It's tempting to just cut out everything you suspect could be the cause but then you'll never figure out what is causing the problems. That said, if it continues/doesn't get better, talk to your doctor or go to the local pharmacy and see what the pharmacist says.

If you are older than 50, this could be a condition called bullous pemphigoid. Look it up on-line to learn more about it. The diagnosis is hard to make when the blisters are not present even by a well trained dermatologist. If you are younger than 50, it could be as simple as bite reactions. You are going to have to pay to get it diagnoised.... sorry, I know this is not the answer you are looking for.
Good Luck! Your Friendly Dermatologist.

That's welts. Welps is when a puppy is nursing. The rash sounds like it's from soap. You wash your hair, and the lather runs down your legs. It is an irritation, so you scratch, causing bruises. Try switching shampoo, or soap.

If I had a skin rash, I'd want welp also.
