Dd1 (10) has odd rash/blisters around her groin area and her arm pits?

Dd1 has been getting odd dry patches of skin for a week or so, most are near her knicker line ( above her pants and tops of her thighs ), just noticed when she was having a bath that a couple on the inside of the tops of her thighs look a bit like blisters and she said they hurt at night when her thighs rub together. Any ideas what it might be? She hasn't been poorly and I don't think we have changed anything that might irritate her skin.

It could be heat rash in those areas.

If its where the elastic from her pants sit it could be the elastic irritating her skin. My dd had dry skin/a rash like you describe which was from the elastic on her new pants.

It could be, she says she gets hot at night so could be sweating, could be a puberty thing? She does have quite sensitive skin.
