small itchy bumps on my hands

Four days ago my hands started itching (not unusal for me though), but it felt like a bite or something and I looked and there was a small bump that looked like a blister. Looking all over my hands they are all over. It's not like a rash, there's no redness except when I've scratched, the bumps aren't red, they are skin colored  - it just looks like little fever blisters or something. When they break they are just filled w/ clear fluid and stop itching. They seem to itch more when my hands are warm (my hands are ususally cold - I have raynauds) like while I'm watching tv all covered up.

Actually it started a few weeks ago w/ my big toe on
top.  Last summer I had something similar on the bottoms of my toes and the doc prescribed a cream thinking it was a fungus or something. After almost 2 mos they got better. I tried the cream on my toe this time and it stopped itching, but is still bumpy but looks like it's healing. When it got on my hands I thought OMG it's spreading. I went to see the doc yesterday (mine was off so I saw an associate) and she said that it
isn't fungal at all. She tested to see if it was scabies that was negative and called it something that I don't remember. She gave me samples of Apexicon Cream and it seems to stop the itching, but the bumps seem to be spreading still.

I am 40, female and just finished 6 mos of accutane two days ago.

[Uwon't believe it]

Here is the help you were looking for.  I can't post the name of the cream but feel free to e-mail me. Hello, I just wanted to share what happened to me. About three years ago, I was taking a swimming fitness class. About two weeks later I got a tiny blister on the back of my heel, it itched like fire. Finally, after scraching in it it opened and a clear fluid came out and the itching stopped but a few days later i got more.  I thought it was a fungal infection from the showers or the swimming pool.  To make the story short, I got the blisters on my fingers and nothing and noone seemed to be able to help me.  "NO ONE IN USA"  THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SPREED THIS RASH.  "MONEY" INSURANCE,  ETC.  

FINALLY IN ONE OF MANY TRIPS THAT I DID AROUND THE WORLD I FOUND THE CURE.  

TRUST ME,  IT WORKS.  

ITS A CREAM,  THEY DON'T SELL IT IN THE US NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
OR AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID.

The doctors in america would tell you that is excema but is not they will give you all kind of stuff.  even steroids,  so later in your life might have cancer.  

if you trust me email me at t_blv***@****

[yoshemoshe]

This sounds very close to what I have and what the doctors told me.  I got the impresion that they didn't know what it was so they went with excema. Which I do not believe it is.
I would like to email you for this cream but your email doesn't show.

Please reply with your email address.

Thank you!

i have the same problem, it ***** i have the bumps everywhere on my hands and some on my feet. and the itching is constant. my boyfriend of a year has a similar condition only his have scabbed but he also gets the itchys. i hate them ive been to the doctor 2 times first they told me it was contast dermatitis and the steriods and cream didnt help. the second time the doctors didnt know they gave me cream and told me if it stays i should go to the dermatoligist.

[Liss989]

I have exactly the same issue. It's so depressing. Spending all my time and money trying to work out what to do to make my hands feel better. They are covered in tiny blisters and itchy bumps. Steroid creams bring no relief. I am totally at a loss. I have never had skin problems in the past. I just want to scream HELP I need someone to HELP. I have tried eliminating foods, I wear cotton gloves etc. I have followed every piece of advice and nothing has worked.

[CatherinePh]

I have something along the lines of what you are describing.
A few days ago my hands started iching badly and these bumps have come up all over my fingers and are flesh coloured.
The only thing different from your stories is that I don't have it on my feet but I do have similar bumps around my neck and chest and around my ankles.
I have tried self-diagnosis and I've only found the symptoms matching eczema and scabies. I am SERIOUSLY hoping it is just eczema because I will freak out if I have bugs burrowing into my skin.

I am on the verge of going to the doctor but holding out because I just hate doctors in general and am hoping this will disappear.

[jay_jay22]

I get these every summer- if they don't go away in a few weeks, then I use wart remover(it comes in a small bottle, with a yellow label, and the cap has a built in brush) put the wart remover on your bumps and put a band-aid on it. When they band-aid falls off wait a day or two, and if it's still there use some more- but don't use too much or the wart remover will burn through your skin and leave a nasty scar.

[hobbit10]

Hi
i have these blister things, they do come and go they seem to clear up and then within a week they are back again

I would really love to know the name of that cream as my doctor has given me a steriod cream which i really dont want to use.

Do you know what it is and what causes it?

please email me at ***@****

Thanks

[redwithenvy]

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like what you have (and unfortunately, what I have) is called Pompholyx, or Dishydrosis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis

They are tiny, liquid filled blisters, usually the size of a pinhead, that appear in clusters on fingers, knuckles, and sometimes toes. I started getting these a few years ago, and it itches like crazy! They typically crust over and then heal, but the itching is too much to bear sometimes. I have been told that steroidal cream helps, as well as keeping hands dry (no lotion, etc). It can be caused my excessive sweating, or an irritation to a chemical or substance (I worked in a salon and would also get them after long exposure to new shampoo, etc.) Talk with your doctor, and read the wikipedia article. And if you're wondering how other people's look, check out these images:

http://dermnetnz.org/dermatitis/img/pompholyx/index.html

I'm not recommending you do this - but I sometimes pierce mine and the heal without too much more itching. I'm sure there are better options, and I know you can find home remedies, including herbal, online. Just keep em dry!

[Chrissy4488]

I have the same problem. These bumps are all over my hands and feet and itch badly, but I notice if you price it with a clean needle it helps.I already went to hospital and they said it was a fungal thing and gave me a cream and pills. Hope it works I really cant take this itching.if anyone else can find out what it really is please let me know

[tipnoi]

I had the same problem with itchy little bumps with clear liquid on my thumb. What worked for me was soaking my thumb in baking soda with warm water for 10 minutes.  I did that a couple times a day for about a week and then it went away.

[123MLG]

I had the same thing for years and finally a doctor prescribed Diprolene. It worked! The itching was so bad it would wake me up. I still have the same bottle that I got in 2005! It's expired and still works. I hardly ever have to use it any more. It made the bumps go away and occasionally I will get a couple of them again and I just put this stuff on and they go away for a long time.

[melissah304]

I have the same thing. I noticed the bumps yesterday, but they didn't start itching until this morning, and there is more of them. I was thinking possibly an allergic reaction to something... I guess I don't have much of a choice but to go to the doctor. :(

Anyone with some information can e mail me at hershey . melissa at yahoo *******. No spaces, and replace the at and dot with the right signs.

[rachnee]

Hi,

I have jus developed the same thing and I am scared.. My hands itch from time to time and i have clear heads like pimple on my hands.. Can u pls tell me the cream too..

Rachnee.
Email: rachnee.***@****

[mizzplatnum]

uhm i got the same bumps on my hands and feet can you please tell me the cream tooo

[ickyme]

I have the blistery, itchy, hurty, flesh colored bumps on my palms and fingers, too.  I don't have them all the time, but I have noticed that my bumps seem to multiply in relation to how stressed I feel.  The ones on my palms drive me crazy until I succeed in scratching them open to release the clear liquid.  OK, it's pus.  I haven't gone to a dermatologist because I didn't want to pay a specialist big money to tell me that they can only guess what it is.  Sounds like lots have people here have gone through the "system" and have no real answer.  I also noticed that a number of people mentioned excessive sweating as being a contributing factor.  Interesting, because I am a virtual sprinkler in hot weather with no relief, and again in the winter because of the furnace being on.  No doctor can figure it out, so I just have to endure people not hugging me because I am so "gross".  Any sort of exertion begins my irrigation system....  In any case, having these bumpies on my hands doesn't do much to add to my diminishing self image.

[kdg2005]

I have been getting a few of these on my hands on and off now for years, but today I looked down and they were all over my palms. Now I am a 29yr. old who is ALWAYS hot, I sweat constantly, and up until now I have seen doctors for this and they just tell me it's dry skin, or warts and just give me creams and nothing works. Now that it is winter here in MA we have had the Wood Stove cranked, so I have been sweating alot, and I always used to get them at my old job where they kept the heat on 90 all year long, it all makes perfect sense now....does the baking soda and warm water really work?

[jennifer_lndn]

I have had the same problem for the last 3 years. It started on my foot whie I was pregnant and just never went away. I to went through the system and they tell me the same things. I have just recently had it spread to  my hand and I am now at a loss for words..... It FRICKEN ITCHES!!!!!! I would rather take a cheese grater and itch it, it is that bad of an itch. I would LOVE to know what would make this better.

[Sammeh420]

They are seed warts. I have them too. They are all over every single one of my fingers. They itch, and Yadda Yadda. Listen, if you want to get rid of them there are two simple ways.

1.) Do NOT touch them, and wash your hands every time you do anything with HOT WATER and ANTI BACTERIAL SOAP!

2.) Pop them with a needle, and then do not touch them, but wash them with hot water and anti bacterial soap.

You usually get them from not washing your hands enough. It's just bacteria under the skin, and the liquid inside of them WILL make them spread.

[jayce741]

My hands get these bumps and my sister gets them on her back, my father gets them on his hands as well especially if we are stressed. my girlfriend came across this forum because apparently she gets them too. it is a type of eczema. but its called dishidrotic eczema. here is a link that will help explain it better.

http://www.internationaleczema-psoriasisfoundation.org/dyshidrotic_eczema.php4

[sockitome2]

Sounds to me like planter warts, they do spread if they are popped, get a mag glass and if you see something that looks like seeds within DO NOT pop they will spread everywhere you touch even private area.

[jakezaaq]

I am so sad. I just started having this crap this past week. And wikipedia says its Dyshidrosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis)
which basically means that ill ALWAYS have this, it tends to get worse and there is no real solution for it.
So Im in Austria and i have no clue what cream i need, ill try the bakig soda hocus pokus
About the soap - i use soap all the time. Seed warts... hunf!

cheeeers

[jimmy910333]

I found that with consistant washing during the day (4-5) times and a shower 1ce a day it starts to dry out the bumps. Then after about a week they go away. They always seem to come back though but this is an easy temp solution. (do not itch them, the will quickly get worse!!!)

[faith929]

it is not from not washing your hands enough! I have then and i wash my hands chronically. Its called Dyshidrosis. Its a form of eczema and also know as house wives eczema. I cant diagnose you but you might want to do some research cause there are treatments for it!

[jamie991]

Hi.
I have been getting bubble clusters on my hands accompanied by red scaly patches on my feet on and off for the last 20 years or so. It used to get really bad so I saw many doctors and specialists. Although well intentioned, I could tell they didn't really know what is was. I tried different cordizone creams and UV light therapy. They helped a little but not much at all.
So I tried Chinese herbal medicine and a tip from a friend. Both of these work really well!
Burdock tea:
Find it in Chinese medicinal stores. Just boil it and drink it a couple times a day. You'll notice the itch dissapear right away, and the bubbles start to disappear after a few days.
I soak my hand in warm water and vinegar:
1 part vinegar to 10 parts water for 20 minutes before bed. Works great!
Also: While you have it
- Only use cold water on your hands.
- Eat bland foods.
- Don't touch any detergents or soaps.
The Chinese believe that this is caused by a malfunction in the bodies sweat system. The sweat can't get out of your hands. It makes sense since my hands are usually hot when I get this.
Hope my advice helps

[mjjjwren]

You sound like me. 20 years or more with this palm and heal/sole red bumps and itching.They are right that our bodies are taking in bad food chemicals, preservatives etc .So much and for so long our bodies are reacting in many ways - alergies (allergies), low energy,cant think clearly, memory etc. Moderation of everything and avoiding anything with long lists of ingredients you cant even pronounce is the long term cure. I stumbled across an interesting cure when my itching got so bad that I even would have outbreaks in other sweat areas (arm pits etc.). What happened was my dermatoligist saw my hands and feet were even getting yellow nails. I was only 25...He perscribed Lamisil. A pill specifically for the nail fungus. I took for four months and my nails were cured. The suprise was my burning itching hands/feet went away too. I was cured for years before it started coming back. I believe it is this internal imbalance that your Chinese friends are explaining. Specifically a systemic yeast infection that has exploded in a internal fungal outbreak. An obreak that show itself first in your sweat areas that we are all describing here - palms/heels/soles of feet. I stop eating anything with yeast, gluten, and garbage stuff. So, eat right for a while. Wash and keep cool your affected areas. Try creams and powders with miconazole 2% in it. This is the best for this fungus. Read up on these systemic outbreaks. "The Yeast Connection" is one good book. Lamisil is bad for your Liver. I cant recommend it long term. But short term it can put the fire out. There may be a generic now that is not so harsh on your body. Doctors will not back this up so dont even try. Hope this helps somebody...

[prathinav]

whwn ever i use hair removal cream i get pimples on my hand it looks vey dirty and embarassing plz help me !!!

[alexrydercarter]

i have been getting these blisters for months now, I have had allergy tests and scabies test. I didnt want to go to the skin specialist because it is so expensive but it is my last resort and i will be going there later this week. It started with my cousin who mildly had them then I got them. Hers went away but mine worsened. My father mother, sisters and school mates get them but they're very small and mild and go away after some time. i have come to the conclusion that this must be dyshidrotic eczema but I have no direct reason as to why I get these. I dont work and I only do my daily chores of having to wash the dishes every night and I wash my hands about 4 times a day so I'm not excessively exposed to water or anything. I get this on both my hands and my feet and sometimes there so sore or where the blisters are I cant write. The good thing though is my friends dont care and think its just eczema, they still eat my food as they know its not contagious and act normal which is wierd because id be grossed out. My father recently talked to this guy with psorosis and he goes to mineral pool and soaks in them. The more sulphuric and mineral the pool the better. He says it soothes the itching and helps along with the creams and pills he is given. Although this didnt work for me as I tried this last night this may mean that unlike him I dont have psorosis. From this forum i will use the baking soda and vinegar remedies tonight and will post back with the results.

[Roberto123]

the symptoms are very close related to Dyshidrosis
my wife had the sme symptoms 1 week ago and that was the diagnosis, in her case is caused by strees and apparently can be chronic, it will take like 1 month to recover and her doctor recommend to change her life style, i strongly recommend you to go directly to a dermatologyst expert.

[Roberto123]

By the way our dermatologist recomend only a very basic solution, water and salt, is a miracle that convination, she use to put her hands and feet under the water with salt for 15 minutes and after 1 week, all blisters dissaperead. her doctor prescribed her a German homeopathy treatment wich basically fights the strees, she is sleeping like a baby and her sense of humor just change, her hands are getting better every day, thanks god.

[TinaLavinia]

Hi,  did the water and salt really work?  I just wanted to know because I am having that exact same problem with my hands at this moment.  I went to the doctor and all they did was give me cream saying that I had Scabies but when I looked up what Scabies was, it looked like nothing what I have.  I googled "what are tiny bumps on my hands were?"  and got this site, so I was reading everything that everyone was saying and this is exactly what I have.   I also wanted to ask, did you or anyone reading this find out what it is called?

[KilroyWasHere]

Don't pierce them! I have this problem for couple of years now. the worse was when i pierced and scratched them! recently I got them again and immediately started washing hands if they got sweaty and they receded almost completely except my left foot. Since I sit in an awkward manner I scratch and rub only my left foot, the result is that now my right foot is completely clean while my left looks like an athlete foot! I think these are contagious but will spread only on moist sides of fingers, foot and hands, and later if scratched, will spread elsewhere.
I think I've got them from my father whom used to wear my slippers and he got them from a dirty floor. But nobody in my family got them from us.
Don't wear other people shoes and gloves!

[K8TB]

I get this too, Lisa.  Tried everything (prescribed and over the counter medicines) and spent years using moisturisers in an attempt to soothe it but nothing worked until I read an article that suggested that creams and moisturisers were just exacerbating the situation.  What my skin needed was something to dry the area....and the cheap solution is calamine lotion.  It's cheap here in the UK - £1 or so a bottle and lasts for ages.  Surely it's worth giving it a go?

[19hd98]

please let me name of the cream thanks

[RandomRay]

My sister and I used to have sweaty hands. Once in a while during more stressful periods we would get a condition where our hands would itch like crazy and small red bumps would appear on our palms. The condition would worsen if we exposed our hands to hot water. Also, after a day or two, the skin on our hands would feel like onion skin.
I was in college the first time I got the condition. The doctor at the clinic had no idea what it was but we went through a book of skin disorders and eventually came across a condition that exactly described what I had. There were two medications that were suggested to treat this syndrome. The first was cortisone cream. The second was Probanthine taken orally. These pills were very very small but they did the trick. The condition went away after the third pill. Evidently excess sweating is at the root of the problem and probanthine inhibits the sweat glands.
The condition would pop up once every few years and I found I could make it go away if I stayed away from coffee and tea.

By the way, the probanthine had a weird side-effect. For the two days I took the pill, I found myself saying exactly what came into my head. In other words I heard myself saying what I was thinking without any editing as to what was appropriate or not. I couldn't stop myself. However, the side-effect went away right after I stopped taking the medication.

[AJ0516]

That's because hair removal cream makes your skin very sensitive and opens your pores.

[AJ0516]

Do you remember what the condition was called?

[bmcmur1]

I currently have an outbreak of these little clear blisters on my fingers.  It came on for the first time years ago and this is maybe the third or fourth outbreak I've noticed.  It seems that it's definitely "Dyshidrosis" (Dyshidrotic eczema) and it's really depressing to see that there are several forums dedicated to this, but absolutely no proven cures or treatments.  I recently dealt with a bad case of poison ivy in which I was prescribed Methylprednisolone and Domeboro.  

The methylprednisolone is long-gone and I wouldn't want to try it for this anyway.  However, I'm going to treat these little blisters in a similar manner to poison.  This means avoiding scratching or popping the blisters and applying water-based treatments to dry out the skin.  In particular I'll use the Domeboro (which can be found over the counter at a pharmacy) to soak my hands in the morning and at night after work.  I'll use small amount of benedryl on the larger patches of "bubbles."  I'll re-post with results if I think anything is working.  Otherwise, consider me once again amongst the long list of clueless sufferers.

A few other things: I eat extremely healthy and work out several times a week.

My breakouts of Dyshidrotic eczema have been mostly in the late summer/early fall months.

Stress due to my job & stress due to other health problems have corresponded to the times of outbreaks.

[Abkluthe]

Have been dealing with this for about 7 years. Sweating makes it worse. Dish pan hands carries a whole different meaning. When I get water on my hands the skin in my palms and palm side of my fingers gets white like it's saturated and dead. Lotions agrivate the issue. But, alas I have found one remedy. When my hands break out and start to itch, I'll go through and pop all the little minuscule blisters. But here's the hard part. To keep it from coming back for a few weeks to a few months, I'll wash my hands with bleach. It burns like the dickens, but it seems to work pretty well. Oh, and just in case you try this, be near a sink. You're gonna want to rinse your hands thoroughly.

[ishimunawar]

please let me know thename of cream and feon where it will be available

[esmebarnard]

Hi belkgirl and all of you out there!!
I have been suffering with these symptons for the last 7 months and have used all creams on the market. I went for a couple of cortisone injections as well as used medication for it. In my second day after injection, all spots disappear, but it only last for about 3-4 weeks. I have now came accross a homoeopath and he immediately gave me 3 different preparations to use. One week later and all is blisters are gone and it is only the tiny bown spot and a little bit of skin that is cracking for which he also gave me a big pot of ointment. Would you like me to mention the name here or can I email you and give you the name?

[quanta3500]

I would like to know what type of cream you are referring about that works better than the Dermatoligist. Please I really want to take you advise, because my systoms are becoming worse.

[Melly_MelMel]

I am having the same thing
My mom told me that eventually they will peel and you will start your period... My aunt has the same thing and it lasts a week or two.

[valencia601]

what is the cream called? This is the first time I have ever had any type of skin problem and I'm 56. I've been stressed because I've been looking for work with no luck, I'm afraid I'll end up on the street. It started on my feet, I thought it might be athletes feet now my hands are full of it. I can't believe they don't have a cure for this. Please someone give us the name of the cream that works! PLEASE don't keep it a secret!

[keisme]

As much as I don't like to admit this to ANYONE, I have had scabies (from letting someone stay in my home) and this is not scabies. I have the itchy bumps only on my middle finger on my left hand. They are driving me nuts! How is it that no one knows what this is?
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have a very high allergy to metal. When I was married, my ring broke me out (it was white gold.)  I switched the ring to my right hand as a test to make sure it was the ring, which it was.  I now haven't wore the ring on my left hand in two years and my right in about a year and a half, yet I still break out in itchy dryness on those fingers.  It hasn't happened in a while, so I thought it was gone, but just within the last few days it has returned along with these bumps we all have.

[buttercup24263066]

could you let me know what the cream is... ***@****

[Mandi11384]

Use clear fingernail pollish. Trust me it works. Dries it out and then they go away. I work in a nursing home and when its really really hot there and i wear gloves I sweat and then I break out after sweatting really bad. Try the fingernail pollish. It will work

[HughieW]

I just started a new job last week and have since noticed these bumps have appeared on my hands, moreso on my right. I'm not sure if my new job is relevant, or if either hand is relevant, but these bumps are itchy, have a clear liquid (I assume pus) when burst and appear to be spreading.

I have one large one on my left palm, where I previously had a small cut. I only noticed today that there seemed to be two distinct lumps on this cut, one of which I just burst and it contained the same clear fluid. This cut was about 3 months ago. It looks as thought there are several clear fluid "sacs" under the skin around the cut, which would probably burst.

Bursting them seems to cause them to refill with clear fluid in a matter of about a minute, which can then be burst/emptied again.

I also noticed the other day, a large swelling on my elbow, but I put that down to a skin burn (I was standing very close to a fire the day I noticed it, and my hoody also had a melted/burnt patch in the same spot).

Apart from my elbow, they don't seem to scab or turn red until I scratch/burst them.

Any tips on diagnosing them? Visiting the doctor is awkward due to working hours, but I'll do it if I have to!

[MLUnger]

I have had the same thing for several years,the itching is ridiculous.The itching seems to be under the skin,caused by the blisters. I have also popped them to get relief from the itching,but the clear liquid seems to be sticky.Tonight after my shower,I am going to pop them & then apply oragel,hopefully knumbing the feeling,it really gets to my nerves.Keeping my hands dry & cool,seems to also help.Palm of my hands & fingers,is where mine the blisters are located.

[michelle5717]

i went to the doctor yesterday and he said it is a virus like a form of herpes simplex 1 (not sexually transmitted)  he said theres nothing u can do about it unless u want to go on anti viral medication    mine is not that bad   he said i came into contact with it somewhere   i first noticed it when i spent time in the county jail around numerous diffrent people   it comes up every few months   its not dangerous just itches like hell but it is contagious

[bobby03191]

email me at ram-***@**** i have the same thing please help me

[maria41173]

I have the same exact problem but just on one of my fingers. I don't know what it is or what it's called but i can confirm what many of you are saying. Everytime my hands get hot or sweaty especially if i'm wearing gloves they come back. The only thing i found out that works is alcohol. Don't touch them or scratch them or they'll get worse. I use alcohol swabs for a few days. I keep them in the affected area  for a minute and that seems to dry them and they go away. After that i try to keep my hands as dry as possible and make sure lotions don't touch the affected area. Eucerin seems to make them worse. The moment your hands get sweaty they'll come back again. I'm going to try the Calamine lotion (maybe talc powder will work too since we're trying to keep the area dry) and the clear nail polish also. Maybe with a combination of all of this we can keep them at bay!

well i have some similar it small an its on my hand its been there for about two weeks now an im kinda scared because I've been thinking that i have tiny bugs crawling in my skin, an plus it hurts wen i touch it an its been itching

I have the same on my right palm. I have scratched them to the point of them looking like scabs now. The itching IS ridiculous! At first I thought I had tiny bugs, like on the show "My Strange Diagnosis". I too pop them looking for relief, but they just come back and seem to travel.

Did the Orajel work for the time being? I will use it until I get a GOOD diagnosis from my doctor. I hate when they just blame the most common cause and give you a medicinal treatment that isn't going to work.

Maybe "Uwon't believe it" has some info???

Started this med a few days    ago....

APO~HYDROXYZINE  10mg    I was told to take 1,2 or 3 of these before bed.  I have decided to try 2 each   every night.  

I'm pretty pumped on it....3nights now  90% gone, about 4:p.m. a small area on my hands might draw my attention, but I don't itch any more.

If I have to take these the rest of my life  ~ So Be It !   I'm feeling that great about it as I'm typing  K ?

Hope this helps you folks..... it's so  nasty  that itching....  Vodka was starting to look that good !

I've had the same issue about 7 years ago, and after research I found the EMU OIL, that helped me to rid of all the itching. Emu Oil generally helps with eczema and dry skin, and it was clinically proven. Back then I switched to all organic shampoos and creams, without the irritants.

Just last week, 7 years later I got this again - on my palms, fingers, small itchy dots. I think it was a result of the perfumes in my new non-organic shaving cream  that someone gave me as a gift and that didn't agree with me. Again, I went out and bought the pure Emu Oil, and again after a week of rigorous (5 times a day massaging into the affected areas) of application - no more itching, no more dots. I hope this time for good ;)

I've been experiencing this too several years now, it comes and goes, but only on my hands... it is very anoying, frustrating and embarassing as they can look really bad at times when the skin dries and peels. I can fell when the bumps are appearing, they itch really bad when an outbreak is coming. Someone in this forum linked this to a type of herpes that in my research is very close to the herpes that causes the lips outbreaks, I have never had a lip outbreak and I was wondering if anyone has tried the cream that is for that kind of herpes?? I will try it and post my findings. Good luck to everyone, hope we can come to a solution for this.
Thanks!

The answer for your problems is just salt. I use salt in water, will just cover your hand in salt and wash your hands with water after and leave your hands in the salt water for properly 5-10 minutes. It should stop the itching and the spots will slowly go away with out you noticing .

hope this works

This is NOT plantar or seed warts.  It is dyshidrosis.  Warts are not fluid filled pockets.  

I have been dealing with dyshidrosis for 10 years now, fortunately I only get it on my feet.  I feel for those of you with it on your hands.
It is only this past year that I found out what it was called. For years docs. said it was athletes foot, staff infection, sweat deposits, etc and nothing they prescribed ever worked.  

Just through trial and error I found using Psoriasin gell on the itchy areas, letting it burn "so good" to kill the itch and then coating my feet with A&D ointment and socks every night while in bed keeps my feet from getting the painful cracking from the dry flaky skin.

Recently I found another list that discussed this issue and a podiatrist that has been researching this problem and experimenting with solutions has come up with the hypothesis that it is actually a systemic yeast infection that the body is sending a massive amount of histamines through the system to fight the yeast and the overabundance shows up by erupting in the hands and feet.  It is very interesting, and seems to make a lot of sense. I have long known it is not caused by anything in my invironment, or anything on my feet like fungus or the like.

I knew it came from within.  Her treatment consists of a systemic yeast medicene and Vit A therapy.  It is a fairly scientific and involved treatment but one she has had success with, so I am gearing up to try it. I've been following her posts.  I was just looking for the link and can't find it on my computer, I'll do a search and then post it here.
