How about bed bugs. I would have guessed scabies but apparently your doctor ruled that out.

Go to the dermatologist again.
Also, you cannot see the mites called bed bugs, they are microscopic. Put a plastic mattress cover that zips up on your beds, then use a standard fabric mattress cover, then your sheets and blankets. Before putting the sheets and blankets back on your beds, wash them in very hot water with bleach, and dry them on the hottest setting. That will take care of the mites.
If your mattresses are older than 5 years, you should just replace them, but still do the mattress covers to protect yourselves from growing more mites. They are so small, you can feed an entire population of them with a single skin cell, for a year!
Stop popping the blisters, that's part of what's spreading them. Change dermatologists, not every one was in class the day they taught skin bumps.

Its always good to check the detergetn you are using, some of them give me dry itchy skin. Also you may check for any sun/heat related things like a rash, i got one for the first time last year and they itch like crazy!
