My 5 year old son gets bumps, then they turns into blisters, then they leaks and then they turn into open wounds. Eventualy they scab over and take a few months to heal. It happens EVERYWHERE on his body not just his legs, this has been happening for a very long time, they checked the fluid in one of the blisters and said there was no bacteria, but, no answers on what this is or what's going on, it's awful !! He is beginning to show large scars all over, they look like cigarette burns when they are in the open wond stage (They are not bug bites) I did post to medhelp.com on another attempt to find out what this is, under user name 'margetam' if that helps, what someone suggested as an answer didn't look like what he has. If I can email you a few pictures of the wounds and blisters please let me know, I have them available. My name is Jaime, I'm his mother.

Please note the pictrures I have included are of his legs, but this is happening all over his body!

Many..... They all say diffrent things, paliva (an auto imune disorder) chicken pox, bug bites, ect... We did a biopsy and it was inconclusive. I am at my wits end, I just want some help and relife for my baby boy!

You probably did all this but, have you changed the type of material covering the bed, and clothes ie cotton, silk, whatever, definitely no wool, etc. Even try sleeping on a different bed, monitor the food intake. Check for reaction. Some bath, hand, laundry soaps contain perfumes, change soaps, creams, anything and everything a little at a time, monitor the changes. Is the washing water from a city, or is it untreated from the country. I wish you the best and feel sorry for your little guy.
