I have four spots where blisters have started. I'm curious if others have experienced them. The blisters look similar to shingles, but they aren't in the same bands together like shingles.

Do they burn or itch?

more burning than itching. But I do have an urge to rub them from time to time.

If you are still taking doxy, then this is most likey a doxy burn from going out in the sun.
The blisters often come on the hands and they are tiny. This burn is a chemical burn as the doxy reacts to sun exposure. It can get so horrendous that you will be in agony.
So, most lyme docs stop doxy this time of year and all summer long. They prescribe other meds for the sunny months.
Your doxy should have come with a warning about this.

makaka, have you reviewed the possible side effects of rifampin? They include mental/mood changes (unusual behavior, confusion). You are to tell the doctor asap if this occurs. See this website for rifampin side effects:
