it sounds like it could be herpes whitlow.

I have Dyshidrosis >>soak hands in braggs Apple Cider Vinegar once a day for 15 min. OXY pads once or twice a day worked for me.....all dried up then. moisturize with gold bond> green bottle.
This worked for me WOO HOO.

I also have gotten itchy, clear-liquid filled, tiny blisters on the sides of or bewteen my fingers and on the palms of my hands for the past 3 years.  Mine always occur at the end of the summer and go away when it gets colder in the fall.  What I have found to work best for me to stop the itching and heal popped blisters is rubbing coconut oil on my hands before bed and when they itch.  Coconut oil is a solid oil with a low melting-temperature.  It has anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties and may work to ease itching for a variety of causes for these blisters.  I found my oil at my local natural-foods market for $5 and it has lasted multiple years as a little goes a long way because it melts to a liquid when it touches your skin.  One website recommended honey as another natural remedy because honey also has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties but I think sticky hands would be more of a nusance than oily ones which absorb the oil in 5 minutes.

Wrapping the effected area in duck-tape also helps the blisters heal up faster.  I am guessing that is because the duck tape 1) locks moisture close to your skin, and 2) blocks oxygen to bacteria, virus, or yeasts causing the blisters and suffocates/kills the cells.  In case you think I'm nuts to suggest duck tape as a remedy, see this website: http://pediatrics.about.com/od/wartsandchildren/a/warts_duct_tape.htm

I am a scientist and I know that most infections/diseases are caused by either a virus, a bacteria, a fungus, a parasite, or an immune-system response (such as a reaction to chemicals or excema).  Viral, bacterial, and fungal infections worsen with stress because your immune system is weakened with stress.  Viral, bacterial, and fungal-caused blisters which are popped will spread to other people or other parts of your body because the blisters are these tiny organisms way to breed/spread their DNA.  After doing extensive reading on a variety of causes, many of which are mentioned in other's comments, there are five or more reasons for these blisters.  Here are the symptoms of causes I researched and possible solutions.  No matter the situation you should try to keep any open wounds from popped blisters moisturized and clean to prevent a staph infection which would worsen your condition.

1) Herpies (herpes) Whitlow- A form of the Herpies (herpes) 2 virus.  Herpies (herpes) 2 is not necessarily STD related.  You may have had a cut on your hand once which touched another hand, a doornob, or a public keypad someone who also had the disease recently touched.  Do your blisters look red colored when unpopped?  Do they occur anywhere on the hand or on fingertips vs isolated between the fingers/on the palm?  Do they get larger than 3 mm?  Has someone else gotten them from you or have you spread them to other parts of your body after puncturing them?  Do they come and go based on stress? These symptoms are more likely to be herpies (herpes)-related.  Get a culture from a blister's liquid at a dermitologist's to see if they are herpies (herpes) related.  If they are herpies (herpes) related, anti-virals are your only option to prevent further outbreaks.  Please keep open blisters covered with a bandage or gloves to prevent blister spread to other parts of your body and to other people.  Soaking your hands in vinegar-solutions or rubbing with the oxy-pads can help relieve itch.

2) Pompholyx- This is a type of excema and is the type of blisters I think I have.  The blisters look white or flesh-colored when unpunctured.  The tiny blisters (1 mm or smaller) form solo or in clusters where skin is warmest (ex bewteen fingers).  These are not related to stress, but to lack of moisture.  The skin may itch before they form.  They go away when it gets colder because water in your skin evaporates faster when it is hot and slower when it is cold.  If blisters are punctured, the skin takes a LONG time to heal as is typical for most excema.  The ones I scratched on my pinki on a camping trip 3 weeks ago are still scabby.  I recommend you sterilize a thin sewing needle in really hot water and puncturing blisters with a tiny hole if you really can't stand the itching any longer, then wash your finger/hand in hot water with no soap, squeezing out the clear liquid.   Last year I did this and hardly had any slow-healing wounds.  Cortizone cream and coconut oil are effective to relieve itching in excima-caused blisters.

3) Candida- A fungal infection which comes in a variety of forms including athletes foot, vaginal yeast infections, jock itch, and skin infections like diaper rash.  Overexposure to antibiotics aggrivates this condition and include oral antibiotics, chlorinated water, and hand sanitizer.  Are your blisters red or dark toned?  Do they spread to other parts of your body if you pop the blisters? Do they occur around your nail bed?  Do your nails flake off?  Do they develop after you take antibiotics for a cold/infection? Treatment definately includes avoiding anti-bacterial hand sanitizer and soap.  From your natural foods store get a 20+ Billion strain tablet of acidophilus or multi-dophilus to take orally for a month.  The ones in the refrigerated section work best as they have live-cultures.  You can rub anti-fungal cream or powder for jock itch or vaginal infection, such as monostat, on the unpopped blisters to relieve itching.  Blisters from Candida and blisters from Pompholyx look similar, but if you try the anti-yeast stuff and it works you'll know your blisters are yeast-related.  

4) Bullous Impetigo- This is a bacterial infection.  Blisters spread easily to other parts of your body if you pop them.  Blisters can be found on other parts of your body besides your hands.  Blisters have red skin around the blister.  Blisters can get quite large.  Antibiotics help this cause of blisters.  Soaking your hand in salt or vinegar-solutions are especially helpful natural remedies as most bacteria cannot tolerate high acid or salty environments.

5) Warts or scabies- Some warts, such as planter's warts, are caused by a strain of the HPV virus.  They have black heads.  Scabies also have black heads. To tell the difference between warts and scabies you may need to get a microscopic analysis which can see scabies (tiny skin mites) or their eggs which cause irritation and blisters.  Scabies blisters tend to be smaller than warts.  I definately recommend duck tape as the remedy in both cases because it will suffocate both the scabies mites and the virus. In case you think I'm nuts to suggest duck tape as a remedy, see this website: http://pediatrics.about.com/od/wartsandchildren/a/warts_duct_tape.htm. You can find clear duck tape if you want to wear the tape all day and it is in an obvious spot, or if it is on a foot/area easily covered you can get grey or colored tape.  I found a peach tie-die tape the other day which almost blended perfectly with my skin.

I hope something I wrote may help you.  Just remember there are many causes for hand blisters.  I recommend you image search each type and see what examples match your condition to eliminate possibilities and what treatment therapies to try.

Wow i can't believe what i'm reading.
I thought it as jut me with blisters in or on my hands and fingers.
It started like 2 years a go with a bad rash on the palm of my hand that lsted for a whole year.Went to a derm.for treatment,they tried every ointment,but nothing was taking it away,i felt something was eating my hand,painful,itchy,ugly.Some times i would cover it cause it was embarrassing.Got to the point where i had to actually pray about this,before i knew it started to heal on it's own.But now for the last 4 month this year i notice the blisters on both hands,small one with fluid in it,i just feel better ,not because everyone has it,but because i'm not alone going through it..Hope we all can find the solution on this matter..Prayers for all of us...

I have this bloody condition on one of my hands for over 10 years now. By now I am sure once you developed it, you have to find the way of how to live with it. It's like a marriage.
I've tried various creams, oils and so on and nothing worked. The only stuff that works for me is Dermovate cream that I apply twice a day to the affected area. You cannot use it for more than 3-4 months. Then you need to make a break, but use Daktarin cream for the same time of period. Very IMPORTNANT -DO NOT STOP USING CREAMS IF YOUR PROBLEM SEEMS TO DISAPPEARED, because it is not. If you stop using creams your problem will come back again with no time. I normally change these two creams and it seems to work for me, but everyone's case can be different. You can always try...
I hope I can help at least someone, as I know how embarrassing this can be..Good luck! Lina

Hi! I've had the same condition since I was ten - I'm now 15 and it seems to only come up when I go on holiday - it was diagnosed as dyshidrosis by my doctor, which is basically a fancy word for acute eczema. There are a lot of causes - its different to each person. Some can be soaps, others alcohol, sometimes it's caused by sweating palms when you're stressed. My doctor gave me two creams, and if I use it morning and night the blisters usually clear up within two or three days! So I recommend going to your doctor if you haven't already :)

May be dishydrotic eczema.  Try a steroid cream and constantly keep hands well moisturizer

I too share the excruciating painful aggravating itch from these many little tiny blisters of clear fluid on my fingers. I do hair and have kept a few here and there for many many yrs but recently have had a terrible outbreak. Another coworker at the salon has it too. She is using some cream from dr for dry skin that she had from another issue. The bottle she had said: triamc, ureac, menthol, camphor........whatever that is..lol. My mother and I came up with the idea of using desitin cream..works but still too moist to heal all the way. Tonight i'm trying moist at soothing care powder for chaffing and irritation..has zinc oxide like desitin but will keep it dryer since its a powder. Hopefully this will do the tric! Will repost soon to let u know.

You guys will thinks im nuts but follow me and hear me out on this. I have a Cocker Spaniel (they are notorious for yeast infections of the outer ear) I have to use Monostat 7 on the inner flap of his ears for it. For some who may not know, it is a yeast infection anti-itchy cream for the ladies. I was battling a bad bout with his ears and un-knowingly had gotten some on the palm I have had the blisters on for 4 yrs now (only have had the dog for 18 months, knew what you was thinkin lol). Believe it or not, it cleared up the little blisters where I had gotten the cream. It took me a minute to realize what had happened, so for 4 days, 2 times a day I applied it and my ENTIRE palm cleared up of ALL the blisters, except for the redness and I still had to battle the scaley peeling skin afterward but non-the-less it stopped the outbreak. It helped with the itch, the inflamation (inflammation) and all that stuff. It is absorbed by the skin fairly quick too so it is not all greasy after it soaks into the skin, bout 10 minutes. Like I said been through bout 6 creams an all kinds of other remedies and this is the ONLY thing that has helped with any kind of speed and noticable results. I got the Walgreens Clotrimazole Anti-fungal 7 Day Treatment. It helped me and thought I would pass it along incase it would help some one else. Good luck!

May have to try that...the powder helped some but made it too dry and therefor made it itch like crazy. Got some samples from dermatologist called Topicort .....desoximetasone ointment usp, 0.25%......I will let u know how it goes

I went to 6 skin docs and 3 walk in clinics, was given all kinds of madness. Was totally stuned when the monostat worked lol. Now 7 days after the intial flare up, all I have left is the redness, no flaking skin, no blisters, no pain nothin! My flare ups would hit and last for 6 or 7 weeks before it would calm down and then start to clear up. Now it looks like I have a patchy sunburn on my left palm. Which I will GLADLY take ANYDAY over the blisters and embarassment.

Guys suffering from same issue with blisters mainly on hands and feet fingers, went to see dermatologist who diagnosed as Lichen Planus rear form, the only thing works to dry them is poring potassium permaganate liquid (make it baby pink color)over the infected area & apply centraben lotion afterwards, it can take upto 18 months to heal & trigers with stress. Try some blood purifier from herbal shops.

I've been a chronic eczima sufferer for most of my life but I only started getting these about 7 years ago.  I thought it was very strange that I only got them on my finger tips, but now they have spread to my palms.  I've researched a bit in medical journals and it turns out that the skin is one of the first places you build antibodies to infection/virus's.  

The reaction in the skin seems to be caused by the skin attempting to fight against an allergen (Something the body can't create an antibody for) and a common allergen is cortisol, which your body creates during stress.  Unfortunately they both result in the same reaction, your body swelling and attacking with white blood cells an area that can't be killed, so the cells attack healthy cells instead.  This causes itching.  Itching introduces bacteria etc, and also causes plaques (Hard skin buildup) to occur which leads to more scratching.  

Hot water and hard soaps also takes off the top layer of oil and acids which are your natural skin barrier.

Calamine lotion works well on the blisters and perhaps it will dry them out.  But I realized that I usually have a sensitive reaction to any anti-bacterial soap, and that whatever is in it (Perhaps the scent) causes this reaction in my hands.  I would avoid using those anyway since there's a good possibility of creating highly resistant bacteria, which is becoming a serious problem (wikipedia MRSA).

Now the blistering itself is listed in wikipedia under Dyshidrosis looks similar to what I had on the feet, but not the hand.  I have also had these blisters on the soles of my feet, and it seemed like an antifungal did the trick.

It's just possible that the reaction has enough ability to  break down cells that other biology, such as fungi and bacterium can enter, especially in broken skin.

Maybe a skin cleanser like Oxy-clean pulls out the chemical the skin is reacting too, and also kills the bacteria?

Sounds like the scabies mite to me. If you have white, clear fluid blisters along the hands, wrist, feet, and in adults, little red dots can appear on the feet and abdomen. Even the genitalia area.

The most common transmission is through sex, although the mites can be transmitted just by coming in contact with someone infected.

Hydrocortisone helps for the itch and Permethrin is used to kill the mites. Lice treatment cream can work since it has a 1% solution of Permethrin in it. Although, in more severe cases, going to the doctor and getting a 5% solution will also do the trick.

They can test for scabies by scraping skin samples around the infected areas. If you get the lice treatment, which I've used before successfully and am using again, you want to apply ALL OVER the body from head to foot. Paying special attention to areas where you have skin on skin contact. Such as armpits, the back of the knees, the webs of you hands and feet, etc. I did it twice a day. Wash it off by showering, then re-apply. Do this until both bottles are gone. Prescription Permethrin is used once I believe. Unless the case is severe. Then other prescriptions might get involved.

The mite can live outside the body for up to 24 to 48 hours. So washing your clothes, sheets and even covering your furniture WILL help. HIV or HPV can be considered, but I stick with my conclusion of scabies. But it never hurts to be tested for all 3... :)

Hope this helps. :) I'm dealing with this stupid pest for the second time in my life now. :(

I've had episodes of itchy bumps and cracks on my fingers off and on for about 5 years (specially in those hot umid days). I used a very potent corticosteroid (fluocinonide oitment) to kill it and since then I never used regular soaps again and I haven't had a flare up for about 2 years now. I only wash my hand once a day with a natural mild soap in the shower and during the day I use only warm water and moderate friction. Obviously I use gloves to touch any cleaning products or chemicals.
After some reading I came to the conclusion that soaps just get rid of the good bacteria and deplets our skin from natural oils, leaving room for the bad bacteria to come in, specially when your immune system weakens a bit.

I have little water blisters on some of my fingers, they started on one hand and spread to the other. My mother told me I had scabies so wasn't allowed to do anything that might make me come in contact with other people. I eventually was told that it is just a form of eczema. A friend in school when I was younger developed the problem a year or two after myself and she was told if as eczema brought on by stress. I already have eczema though it flares up at different points in my life but has been continuous for the last few years now. The little water bubbles come and go too and went away until about 3 months ago when they came back and quickly spread again. I'm terrible for picking at things so I always burst them. I find once their all burst they'll weep for a few days, then dry up, I remove the excess dry skin and then at least my skin looks a bit smoother and bubble free! I'm still left with that scaly shiny appearance though. Sometimes the bubbles come right back, some times it takes up to a week. I'm hoping this one their gone for good (theyve taken a good few days now) but I really doubt it. I can see some slightly raised areas forming that I'm sure will be trying fill up so I'e burst them and not giving them the chance.

There's a very informative video by a dermatologist on ****.com. He explains that the bumps usually occur from high levels of stress. It is called dishydrosis. He said to put hydrocortizone cream and anti-inflammatory cream with menthol on it. If that doesn't stop the itching you can put under cold water but never do hot water because it will make the itching worse afterwards. He also said that after the bumps turn into flaky skin,  never peel or it can turn into an infection.

Snap we all seem to have these tiny itchy blisters, mine occurred after giving birth i dont know if they caused by shock or truma to the body or i caught an infection in hospital? My doctors treated me for a year on steroids for ezcema (eczema) they did nothing, im now using canestern thrush cream! This helps with the itching but dont seem to be clearing up. Any suggestions would be great im now 18 months down the line and still no joy:-(  x

I have the same little tiny clear liquid blisters that seem to come up from under my skin of my left hand only.  No pain or itching but the result is obnoxious flaky dry areas of skin.  It started about 4 years ago when I touched a lot of new rusty mesh metal and only one finger was messed up for about the first 2 years, then it suddenly spread to the rest of my hand but it just stays on the palm and fingers of my left hand and it is better or worse back and forth.  It quickly gets very bad if I touch dirt, probably because dirt if something that ***** the moister out of skin anyway causing worse flaky skin.

Hi! i have the same situation....and my poor hand cant handle much more. I have went to the dr 2xs already and tried 2 different creams. Finally am going to a dermatologist soon. My daughter is 7 months now and it is like giving her a bath with her products or washing her bottles in the baby soap makes it that much worse! Antibiotic ointment really helps me when its really flared instead of the creams dr gave me bc I seem to scratch the little blisters and pop them in my sleep and it keeps the redness down. After they do pop. My hands crack and just get several more groups of blisters.

Hello everyone.

I used to have the very same thing (notice I said USED to). I had always thought these things were caused by the micro dust I was subjected to when working on computers (builds and repairs) because I almost always had a breakout when working on, or cleaning, a computer. This was not the case, though the micro dust did make me wash my hands more often than normal.

In the last few years my daughter, her children, and my sons have all had outbreaks of either the hands or feet, and sometimes both on some of them.

This proves it is a genetic disorder. This caused me to do some severe researching since yesterday on the whole subject, to try and find help for those suffering the same symptoms, as I have been blessed with no outbreaks for over 10 years (and yes, I still work on and with computers).

I came across this site, as well as many others, and have read hours worth of symptoms and possible ways to alleviate the itching, burning and pain.

I compared all the symptoms from sites like these and my own, and have come up with some help for all of you.

The site listed below will help you to understand more of your condition, so please read it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis

Once you've read it, and if it fits your symptoms, then please read below.

For me, the 'cure' was a combination of less exposure to direct sunlight, a better diet consisting of less cholesterol and saturated fats (the use of canola oil and spread will help to reduce toxins resulting from cholesterol related fats), drink, wash and cook with purified water (I use PUR faucet filter), drink at least a gallon of water each day (it helps to remove toxins by flushing them out), potassium (try to eat foods with potassium, i.e. bananas, etc.), shower every other day or less (to much washing removes all protective bacteria and leaves you susceptible to bad bacteria), wash hands and feet (where affected) with hybiclens soap (comes in a blue bottle and the soap is pink and is over the counter) as it kills bad bacteria (it has a tendency to burn a little but is worth it) and use paper toweling to pat hands dry, then use a dye and fragrance free lotion or cream right after to seal in the moisture. Aloe vera is very good for your hands and feet, and there are many products out on the market that contain it, but if you choose a store product, choose one the doesn't contain dyes or perfumes, but straight aloe from the plant works best.

I have recently come across a very good lotion, more generally new to the market, and I received if as a sample, but it is very effective and without the dyes and perfumes. It's called Simple! It doesn't contain Aloe, but just buy an aloe plant. Aloe plants can have small parts removed for use without killing the plant. The plant will also 'heal' it's self and will grow new shoots, just make sure you have a couple of plants so you can alternate using each one to allow time for the other to gain new shoots.

The lotion, Simple, is for 12 hour protection, but use it as often as you feel necessary. It contains vitamin B5, Glycerin (do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients!), Bisabolol and Allantoin.

Avoid high instances of stress when and where possible.

Do not consume a lot of alcohol as it dries your body our from the inside and robs you of the moisture that is needed to combat this problem from the inside out. I do still have an alcholic drink, but only one in like every 6 months to a year (for special occasions).

I hope this helps many of you. I am working at getting my grandchildren cleared right now so that they might find peace from the symptoms. I tried telling my children what to use and do, but as many kids are, they don't listen lol

Good Luck!

It's caused by Caffiene

It's caused by Caffiene

I have had this same problem for a few weeks, I believe that it could be due to an allergy or weather change. You have always had it (maybe) but you just started seeing it because it was aggravated by something. It comes and goes in time I quess... Not entirely sure, but I'm amost positive it's a form of exzema (eczema) and it is only on the hand or feet. Anyway I believe a decent way to solve it is to soak your hands in vinegar and water four times a day, that will dry the blisters out... But then you have dry skin so try a heavy duty lotion, I personally just popped then with a sterilized netle and then washed my hands... But they some back and make a giant patch of dry scaley skin. Well good luck to everyone!

I got it to, clear blisters popping up on the back of my hands and fingers. About 3 months ago they started. Doc is just guessing i've tried anti-biotics, bactroban cream, penicillin, no good, went back to doc, more cream and stronger anti-biotic, called cleocin. i am very stressed atm with custody issues, not sure if its part of it cause its not the first time i've had this stress. After reading every post here, i've been scoffing bananas and using raw aloe on it. The aloe soothed straight away. Not sure if its helping yet. No more have appeared in the last couple of days but my hands are still swallon and the others haven't cleared yet. I have prednisolone and i'm thinking of diagnosing myself. let you all know if i find a remedy

I have lived with for years and it has drove me nuts...... Here is what causes it . yeast in our foodsI have been to countless doctors and used countless medications.. I did tests on my self when it was the worst and when it clears.. seamed like it always got a little better on the weekends and when i went back to work it got worst as the week progressed.. So i took away things from my self i normaly eat in a day.. I also drink beer ,, so i eat like 2 samwiches a day for lunch thats four slices a day times five that is 20 slices a week. plus beer its an over load of yeast.. so for all of you that has this I feel for you because it is the worst thing ever.. it just affects your hands so I always thought it must be somthing im touching.. but it wasnt.. if you all think about how much bread and beer you eat and drink you will see for your self  how much you your self are consuming.. so here is my email address so you all can write to me and thank me.. ***@****   / no more doctors and stupid creams that dont work and pills that dont help for you.. stay away from foods with yeast and you will see your blisters go away

it is not a genetic disorder it is caused by to much yeast in your diet.. we all eat bread and beer.. america lives on way to much bread everything we eat. involves bread in some way.. i had this problem for years.. and i got rid of it when i found out what caused it.. stop eating bread . for awhile and dont drink anything that is made with yeast.. trust me..

the medical term is called candida look it up and you will see i did extensive research .. its way more common then we all realize there are thousands of people that have this.. its an over growth of yeast..

Unfortunately you may want to consider bed bugs as your problem.  I have a tenant who moved some donated furniture into her home and got bed bugs.  We have seen them and have researched them extensively.  She gets these blistery bites on her hands, neck and face.  Bed bugs bite exposed areas.  Some of the bugs are visible, some are microscopic.  When I treated her home I touched her bedding looking for signs of the bugs, now I have the blisters on my hands.  It is a very difficult problem to get rid of.  Carpets and furniture have to be sprayed with pesticide.  ALL linens and clothing has to be washed in hot water and dried in hot dryer.  Diatamaceous Earth is a powder you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot that is harmless to humans and pets but is deadly to bed bugs and most other insects.  Sprinkle it everywhere!  You can vacuum it up later after you get rid of your problem.  Hot steam cleaning and disinfecting often is a good idea.  If you live in an area that gets below freezing, you can try to freeze them out by cutting off the heat for a weekend and leaving the home. Do as many of these things as you can. Making sure to repeat these steps is important because of the life cycle and hatching of new eggs.  A good tea tree antiseptic cream is great for comforting the itchy blisters.  It takes a lot of work but if you stick with it you can get it under control.  Good luck!

I have had this since I was 15 and I am 42 now. It is called POMPHLYX or DYSHINDROTIC ECZEMA.

Forget steroid creams and whatever the doctor gives you. I would only use a doctor if your case is absolutely terrible.

Here is my experience and what I have found out:

1-This comes and goes with the change of seasons.
2-Low immune and stress cause it to flare up.
3-Coffee, sugar and yeast are contributors to it flaring up as well.
4-Poor diet also a contributor.
5-Not sure about soaps or detergents. Definitely agree unscented is better regardless. Not sure about external agents all together really. I am a photographer and I've spent countless years in darkrooms with hands in chemicals. This problem always has the same seasonal pattern so this makes me think that external agents aren't the culprits.


This will never go away. It's like a fungus in that you can only manage it.
But trust me, you can reduce it to one little blister every now and then if you keep your body healthy and reduce the quantities of items above.
It's the winter holidays now and I've been eating a lot of cakes, sugary stuff and started drinking coffee again......and I got blisters again!

TRY NOT TO POP THE BLISTERS!
I know it's hard and it's actually kind of fun to pop them but it will only make things worse. I think it also makes more blisters come but that just might be my imagination.

Good luck.

I get these too. I also get them on my arms and legs. I will get a stinging sensation usually followed by a blister. I find that Benadryl really helps (generic brands don't seem the have the same effect). Mine, I believe is caused by stress.

hello everyone! I have the same problem, I have these little blisters in my hands and its so annoying. I use desoximetasone at night and when I wake up they are gone! but they come back like in a week. I know it ***** because there's no cure to it. but at least for a while we get rid of them. I HOPE THIS HELPS :)

I have the same thing! Tiny blisters that itch, pop, peel, then come right back. It's on my palms now, but started between my fingers. One hand has cleared up for now, but the other one looks like crap and itches so bad. They didn't show up until after I had my daughter a year ago. If anyone knows something that might help clear it up, let me know!! It doesn't seem to be contagious though, so that's something.

I am only guessing that most of us that have posted a comment may have pompholyx, a type of eczema. Lots of great suggestions/advice have been shared, but please:
1) Keep a diary of food items eaten
2) Reaction (if you get hives, a rash, blisters, et cetera)
3) Use process of elimination
4) Once culprit is determined, eliminate item(s) from your diet.

A food item as simple as chocolate, a type of tea (ex: echinacea),coconut, the different way a company may process their coffee, create (process) ice cream, etc are just a few examples of items we might overlook or have taken for granted. Please be very aware of what you eat, drink, take internally or externally (lather or spray on any part of your body).

I hope this little bit of advice helps.

Use baby powder. I have had this for almost 10 years. It goes and comes back. It is you body defending against anything from allergies, sickness and most commonly dehydration. These are water retaining blisters. I take baby powder and simply rub it on the blisters and drink plenty of water. Also pedialyte works for hydration. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I went to my dr after having these teeny tiny blisters on my palm(left hand only) dr was not available so I got a nurse practitioner.  She got out a huge book and looked it up.  I lost all hope then, but she prescribed a steroid type topical lotion.  Tried it: woke up with about 50+ more tiny blisters on my HANDS!!!!  Now I have it on my right hand too.  Can't get back into dr just yet. But it does flare up with stress......

Just found out my dr retired... So not liking this!!!!

Steroids made it worse.... Popping them doesn't help.  Not popping makes them turn into clear stones that rip the skin, and the skin around sluffs off.  Either way my hands are generating scar tissue that my docs can't figure out.
