blister/lesions on fingertips

by AKinVA, Feb 02, 2008 07:41PM
Occasionally, I develop what appear to be small red bumps on my fingertips. They are painful. The bump will be dark red, then a few will develop a whitish center (the center is NOT raised or pimple-like). These blister-like bumps are only painful and do not itch. I am using the term "blister", however, the bumps are not clear or fluid filled.I am not taking any type medications. This has happened twice before.
Thank you!

Hi,

This may be due to a localized bacterial infection,dishydrotic eczema,an HSV type 1 infection, an allergic reaction. I suggest you seek consult with your primary physician since you may need oral antibiotics for your condition. Apply a cool compress over the areas to help relieve the pain.Do not pick on them and use a mild bland soap to wash your hands.

Keep us posted regarding your progress.
