red sore blisters on hands & feet

[bigfod]

Hello, ive suddenly developed blisters on my hands and fingers which are red in colour. No itching but sore to bend my fingers or clench my fists. Ive not changed my routine with products or diet. Also my toes and around the outside of my foot has the same symtoms. It looks like measles although its not. It tends to flare up when im in the sun. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Hello,
Without examination,confirming a diagnosis is tough but it looks like granuloma annulare(bumps appearing on the hands) but other possibilities that should be kept in mind are myxoid cyst(growth usually occurring on the finger) , contact dermatitis and dyshidrotic eczema(an itchy rash limited to the hands (usually the palms and sides of the fingers),it can be related to weather and consists of small fluid filled blisters).
I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and get this bump examined to rule out the above possibilities one by one and form a confirmatory diagnosis.Most likely it can be due to dyshidrotic eczema.Treatment is different for all.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
