What are these scalp blisters?

The year after having Breast Cancer (aged 35) I developed multiple itchy blisters all over my scalp. They have clear fluid (not pus). There is no crusting or scabs. They are only on my scalp. The same week these blisters started I developed severe fatigue. I've now had the severe fatigue (bedbound) & these blisters for 2 years. I'm on no medication so that won't be a cause. Does anyone know what these blisters are please?

Hi,

Your skin lesions might be a sign of a folliculitis, an inflammation of the hair follicles. Best to consult with a local dermatologist for more definitive diagnosis and treatment, especially since the condition has persisted for so long.

Could be many things, and you must see a board certified dermatologist who will take a complete history and maybe biopsy.
Please see your dermatologist to help with this. You might need a biopsy to help make the diagnoses.
