My mother has had a painful rash for about 2 and a half months. It started on her back, spread to her scalp, trunk, legs, and arms, and has now cleared on her scalp. The rash appears as red bumps that are very painful, feeling like something is biting, then turn into pimples or blisters. The ones on her back were draining clear fluid, but not anymore. The rash is mirrored on each side of her body. She has been using bactroban and aspirin for the painful itch. A biopsy was done last week, but no results yet. Doctors and specialists have said it's most likely not contagious but are unsure of the cause. What could this rash be, and what should we do next?
