Q: Itchy bubbles on skin

Ok so this is pretty bad.. First around early july, I had some kind of bumps, they looked like normal insect bites, but whenever you get in contact, say for example rub it, it'll start itching. I only had a couple of them so I didn't think it was a big deal and went and got a tube of cortaid, the one that I rely on whenever I get itchy, and it's the best to Very Happy. But the next day, the appearance didn't change that much. Oh yeah, it looks like a mosquito bite with a bubble. Here's a picture if you need (it's really not that bad, it's just a small bubble) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh158/t heguy130/DSC00379.jpg
and a more close up one (this one kinda scares me to cause it looks really yellow) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh158/t heguy130/DSC00377.jpg

So the next day came and I had a few more, some with bubbles and some that had a very small one to none. The itching was pretty crazy so I popped the bubble and that clear stuff leaked out then I put more cortaid on it. There were a couple on my legs, then the next day there were some on my back, stomach and arm. So I start getting a little worried and I gave it a couple more days, the itching hasn't stopped and whenever the bubbles popped, they will reform another one. It started to get to me that the more I itch it the more it'll look uglier and then it'll get scarred. I then tell my parents that I should see a doctor, so they took me to the doctor and he said that these were just insect bites. But the "insect bites" lasted for almost 2 weeks. He then gave me a pink tube that is kind of watery to put on my legs, that dries up. So I get kind of happy because the doctor always heals me up, so the first thing I do is go home and put on the pink stuff and the itching did stop. After a couple days of using it, it did get a LITTLE bit smaller. It started to itch and the medicine didn't help all that much, I wasn't going to go bug him again because in a couple of days I was going to china for a vacation, expecting them to have a better knowledge of what this was. They also thought that it was an insect bite but they also provided me with things to drink, and stay away from those dirty, greasy foods and eat healthy. The medicine they gave me was also a pink watery tube! So I was a bit confused.

It's been almost 3 months now, the only thing that changed was the appearance, it got darker (like when it starts to heal) but it still itches like crazy. Almost a month now back in america, there was a new one that popped up. So I'm kind of worrying, because the old ones scarred up at looks like dark spots on me which is disturbing, and they itch like hell - http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh158/t heguy130/DSC00380.jpg

Thanks I hope someone can help me

EXZEMA!!! Well maybe, mine always starts off as little itchy bubbles, and they are really deep if I pop them and make more, and it gets WAY worse in the summer, sun and sweat irritates it, i get them on my feets and inbetwween my fingers...Usually smaller than that so it might not be that....Hyrdocortozone? Helps but maybe go see a dermotologist they might be able to help you more....DONT POP DEM!!
