I had the same type of reaction you describes for 3 weeks intermittently without the blisters. Blisters makes me think it could be a form of the chicken pox virus. It's all I can come up with.

Thanks, pinky.
I evidently did something wrong again since my reply to you last week wasn't printed. I'm going to write it again:::::
I think I agree with you somewhat. Shingles comes from chicken pox - both of which are herpes zoster. Info I found linked all this to this itch, but none of it mentioned a time span or effective treatment relief. Over 2 months now and the same places keep appearing with terrible itching - then totally disappearing until maybe a week later. 0ver and over. Never all at the same time but constantly a few.
When you get this, how long does it last and what helps you?
