I have gone to the dr's again and again for a rash that has been on the palm of my hands and they say it is a form of Eczema...but I 've tried every topical and creams possible,nothing is heloing. Now in the last 3 days my palms are completely broke out with red swollen bumps and some have clear liquid and others have a small amount of puss in them!! Can any one please tell me what might be going on with my hands? Ive never had any problemswith Eczema in my life and Im not even sure if this is what it really is..Im not getting any answers from Dr's and noten on the net...PLEASE HELP WITH ANY INFO.

Thank you so very much, I finally feel like I have hope on dealing with this. Working in retail and with people every day on a regular basis, this was getting very frustrating for me and during break outs, very embarissing...so once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! If I ever have any more ?'s I will for sure look you up, hope you and your family enjoy the New Year..thanks again!! =)

Hello,
Unfortunately I agree with the doctors that your symptoms are typically suggestive of dyshidrotic eczema or pompholyx. In this small fluid-filled blisters called vesicles appear on the hands and feet which may cause itching.

You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used and also use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin. If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
