blistery rash palms and toes

[ctobon]

my dr diagnosed dermetitis on my hands a week ago. when i used the anti-fungal cream she told me to, the itchy rash on my palms that i already had,  developed large, oozing blisters.I stopped using it after 5 days. i went back today and she gave me script for steriod pills, another kind of cream and anti-biotic for any infection that may develop. She is trying to dry up the oozing blisters that are very painful. For the first time tonight I noticed i now have non-itchy rather large blisters on my toes.My feet have always been healthy. I have never had athletes foot and my feet are dry all the time because i live in fla and wear sandles most of the time. i have not changed my soaps or dish soap etc. could this be a plant allergy? i do a lot of yard work around the house.I know my foot blisters are related to the palm blisters but how?

It could be eczema, sweat dermatitis, allergic reactions or eczema.

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .

Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).

Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.
