Itchy feet, clear blisters all over
I have seen several posts on these symptoms but not real answers. A year ago I worked all day and got severe blisters all over my feet, I ended up getting an infection from it which turned into tiny clear blisters all over my feet and hands. The itching was unbearable. Then the skin started becoming very dry on my hands and feet. I went to a doctor who gave me an antibiotic and it cleared up within two weeks. Now the itching, dry skin, and blisters are back and there's no infection. I'm sick of the doctor saying it will go away with antibiotics because it obviously comes back eventually. Has anyone had a real diagnosis for this?

Hello,
I cannot confirm without examination but it can be dyshidrotic eczema.Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).
Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.

nice conclusion... ask your derma doctor... he knows best for your skin... for the mean time try not to scratch it...
I would just make sure you go to a dermatologist, not just a primary doctor. My primary said I had scabies and I went to dermatologist bcuz that DID NOT sound right to me, and it wasn't scabies, but folliculitis. I now have a new symptom and will be calling the dermatologist back but since it's the weekend I came on this site to try to see if anyone had any advice. But in reality the specialist is the way to go! Good luck to you! I know how frustrating not knowing can be.
may be antibiotic will not do the trick anymore.... or.... the bacterial have develop resistance to this antibiotics... did you follow your doctor's advise how long to use your antibiotic? it could be follicultis if it appears to your hairy area of your skin... is your skin scaly?... any sexual intercouse that is unprotected?
