hi i have dermatitis and i get tiny blisters on my hands had it for years now.. flares up with sickness and stress. whatever u do dont scratch cos u'll get dry flaky ugly skin after the blisters pop. this is what i now put up with and my hands are flared up every day. try a hydrocortizone cream and avoid detergents.

Thanx for you comment it was greatly appriciated. I have stoped using fragrance soaps, i never really do touch detergents. I dont pop these blister because if i do this clear liquid comes out. I have this one big blister on my palm. its about half an inch in length and quater inch in width. ITS REALLY HUGH. it also sticks out about couple mm from my skin. There are black dots on top of it and it looks all bubbled up inside my skin. sometimes it feels like its beating like a heart. and i can see it slightly move. i dotn want to pop it, but it looks like its ready to burst itself. if anyone knows what to do plz write back, thxs again.

I have the exact same tiny little barely visible blisters. They appear on my hands, fingers,palms, and sometimes even the back of my hands and my wrists. When they pop, they have clear fluid and then dry up and the area around it gets scaly. And then they'll go away for a while and then all of a sudden i'll have dozens of them!
Any new advice for them?
So glad to see that im not the only one!!!!!

what helped me was coticsteroid rib it in for 10-15 minutes-apply moisture crean-aveeno over
sleep with a shopping bag over your hands. It is uncomfortable and keeps you hands moist.
I was told in order for it to go away I had to establish a mositure management for my hands.
I am still working on other solutions. I still have the blisters but not as many.

I AM REALLY GLAD THAT I FOUND THIS SITE.  I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PALM BLISTER PROBLEM.  I CHECKED ON WEB MD SEVERAL MONTHS, AND IT STATED THAT IT MIGHT BE MY DISH SOAP OR SHAMPOO.  BUT THE THING IS I'VE USED THE SAME PRODUCTS FOR YEARS.  I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW.  I HAVE TO POP THEM OR ELSE THEY ITCH REALLY BAD, EVEN IF IT DOES LEAVE ME WITH PEELING HANDS AND WOUNDS THAT WON'T HEAL.  THEY ARE PAINFUL BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO HEAL, AND I CONSTANTLY USE HAND SANITIZER AND IT BURNS VERY BADLY, SO I IMMEDIATELY PUT SOMEKIND OF LOTION ON TO STOP THE BURNING.  MY DAUGHTER JUST TURNED 2, AND THIS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER SHE WAS BORN.  MAYBE IT COULD BE THAT MY HANDS ARE MORE ACTIVE WITH CHANGING DIAPERS AND CONSTANTLY WASHING MY HANDS, DOING DISHES AND CLEANING, ETC.  I'M RELIEVED TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.  IT IS VERY EMBARRASSING SOMETIMES, BECAUSE MY PALMS LOOK TERRIBLE.

This is just too mysterious to be "just' stress-related.  

I am suffering from the tiny clusters of blisters and when popped, they spread throughout the body and are very painful with an ensuing scaliness.  It is horrible.  I am 54 years old this year and have been suffering with this since a trip to New York in 2005.  It is on the palm of my fingers and feet.  I hate this!  

I read and use tee tree oil to dry up the blisters.  It works, but could be messy and smells strongly.  I use it at night mainly.

I believe our foods. which many are being manufactured unnaturally may be a probable cause for such a wide-spread community of people suffering this. It is horrible and the doctors don't know what it is and what is causing it.

I have the same problem with blisters on the top of my feet, and there have been as many as 50 blisters at one time. I have been to the best doctors I can find, and they can't tell me what this is. I have spent 4 days in the hospital running test and still no answers. I have been to see 2 professors at Emory University Hospital and they have no answers. The only    
thing that they did was to put me on steroids for 8 months, that caused a 30 to 40 lb. weight
gain, that in caused a heart problem, and they put me in the bed for 4 weeks.I am starting
to wonder if there is no one that can help me. I have done all that I can do, and now I look
every where I can think of my self. I am almost past walking, and can't keep a job,and I
can't make plans with my family, if there is and answer out there some where I want to try it.I am about to give up and never leave the house again.The medical profession has
let me down.

I feel I may have the same problem you guys have. A little over a week ago I woke up with a hot red blister on the back of my hand. I can't explain where it came from. Before I went to bed it wasn't there, and when I woke up there it was. It almost looked like I had burned myself somehow. Anyway the blister grew and grew as I worked that day, until I decided to squeeze it and it burst like a water balloon. Then I had to deal with a clear oozing puss that just seemed to flow out of it for the next two days. When it finally stopped it scabbed over a little but not enough for it to heal and the skin around it became scaly and puckered. Its been that way ever since and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near healing. I'm really worried about it. I've never had anything like it and I can't explain why it wont heal. The last time I had an std test was when I was 12, I was clear then but now I'm worried. Two years ago I was with a girl who I found out cheated on me multiple times. I'm worried that whe may have given me something that I can't get rid of & I'm worried that I may give it to the girl that I'm with now. I feel horrible and afraid. I'm reaching out to anyone who knows something definate about this condition or anything that sounds familiar.
I find it hard to believe that its stress related or something caused by my environment however (sun exposure, detergents, chemicals, etc). I've read too many stories that sound too familiar and the lifestyles and environments of people who seem to have this problem vary too widely for me to belive stress or environment could cause it. I could maybe see excema or a genetic disorder or some sort of disease (wheather and std or some other affliction).

i had just a few little tiny clear blisters on my hands and feet and didnt think much of it. a few days later i had a huge cluster of them on my palms and they were itching really bad. so i went a doctor (which was not my regular doctor) and she said  it was eczema and she prscribed me 3 different meds for it. the only one that worked was the one for the itch. so i called the doctors office back and saw my primary care physican and he said it definatly was NOT eczema, and that he had never seen anything like it and refered me to a dermatologist. but i cant get in to see him for another 3 weeks! my hands and feet really itch and my hands look like some kind of monster. and im really worried. if anyone knows what this is or even has any suggestions on how to get rid of please let me know as soon as possible. it is so embarassing. i dont even want people to see me like this. im afraid to touch anything b/c i dont know or want to spread it someone else. PLEASE HELP!!!
