Blisters

This discussion is related to small, subdermal 'blisters'.


I get those subdermal blisters on my hands after using anti-bacterial soap. I was wondering if anyone else had the same difficulty.

Hi,

'Sometimes, the skin can blister when it comes into contact with a cosmetic, detergent, solvent or other chemical; this is known as contact dermatitis. Blisters can also develop as a result of an allergic reaction to an insect bite or sting.'

'Soaps, detergents, fragrances and contact with fruit juices or fresh meat also can trigger outbreaks of dyshidrosis, as with other types of eczema.'

'Avoid Purell and other hand sanitizing products which contain alcohol. These may aggravate the condition.'

Avoid soaps with Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS). Many pump style soaps and common shampoos contain SLS.
