clear fluid filled bumps on pinky finer

About a month ago I developed a few clear liquid filled bumps on the top of my pinky finger. They were itchy at first.  They eventually popped (sometimes I would pop them) and they would turn into little open wounds and continue to release small amounts of fluid. Then the area would get really dry and cracked and stay like that for about 2 weeks.  Then it would seem to clear up but start all over agin with the little fluid filled bumps.  I haven't seen a doctor about this yet.  Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

could be fungal.  try athletes foot spray.  this sounds like something I dealt with in high school, and all through college.  Dont know why I never tried sooner but finally sprayed either athletes foot spray or jock itch spray and it went away almost instantly and never came  back.  (about 15 years now)

I battled with this for years - and in my case, it was indeed Dyshidrotic Eczema. I was finally able to isolate the trigger - which, for me, was nickel. I Manage retail store, and found that the metal tops of the hangers were the culprit 99% of the time (these are FULL of nickel). Utilizing a cortizone cream to help the itching, keeping my hands away from heat, forcing myself to handle the hangers differently, and regularly using Cetaphil Cream (not the lotion) brought my flare ups down to a minimum. Age eventually completely eliminated the problem for me (by the time I turned 40)...finally a positive reason for aging!!!

Is there any way that I could control eczema when I work in the Operating Room, and latex gloves and frequent handwashing (not to mention the stress) are a must..? I stopped treatment because of the effects of the anti allergy meds prescribed to me. The only medication I maintained is the Bethamethaone Ointment because it seemed to work for me. But, I only apply it when my eczema "episode" is at its worst. I love my work, but, my eczema is putting my health at great risk.

U guys&girl i've had this problem for 17yr, im 31 now its really a fungi, it happens mostly to people who has sweaty hand&feet, almost like athlete feet,it come from sweat. There's no cure but to keep ur hand&feet dry, when the water-fluid bumps morelike warts appear, don't scracth to much it gets worst or spread, run some hot water over it as hot as u can stand that will soothe the itch but when they occur wash ur hand every hour, dry rinse with alcohol let air dry do the same for feet. Don't use no lotions or creams, antifungi spray works also, but water&alcohol is more natural pure less chemicals. Now that worked for me for 17 yr the doc never gave me anything that worked. the only time I get them now is when I'm sweatn & not inreach of hand sanitizer, or alcohol u can feel'em before they come on the palm, start with the alcohol rite away they'll dry out real quick.

I can't beleive someone else has the exact same symptoms as I do! This stuff is driving me crazy! My hands break out in these horrible blister like bumps between my fingers and they itch like crazy till they open up into clear like fluid that oozes out and then it turns literally into blistering skin. Then I have never had the stuff on the tops of my hands till this last year and now the whole hands are a MESS! I finally  figured out stress has some big part in this and also I have arthritis!!!! I have been given this cream , but only once from an urgent care and I cannot remember the name but it helped alot. This crap does not just go away by its self and is very serious in which infection  can   definately be part of this horrible, horrible, ordeal....I am in so much pain and my hands are ugly now, is anything at home work till I can get to my Dr. ?
