small itchy bumps on my hands

[lisa6538]

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.

I started getting tiny bumps that looked like bumps filled with water on top of my hands and it was so itchy that i couldn't help but scratch until they popped and clear liquid started coming out like water so, i got scared i didn't know what it was so i poured Peroxide and 70% Alcohol these two things made my hands worse the next day i had no choice but to go to the dermatologist. My dermatologist said it was hand eczema and prescribed me with steroid ointment i don't remember the name. i started using it and couple days later my hands were back to normal but then it kept coming back every couple days. I would use the ointment that was prescribed and my hands would get better this went on for about a month. Then i started getting this bumps between my fingers and i would use same medicine until i ran out of prescribed ointment so i decided to use pure virgin olive oil which does work but the bumps kept coming back every few days so, one day i was in the store in pharmacy area by over the counter medicine and i saw Cortizone -10 Maximum Strength Intensive Healing Lotion For Eczema so i decided to try it out on my hands and this lotion healed my hands. My skin is so soft now but i still get this bumps. It's not that bad.  Somone wrote this bumps are due to not washing hands that is NOT TRUE. I am contently washing my hands more then an average person because i have three children so I wash my hands a lot. I've been suffering from this tiny bumps for past 7 months on and off.

I also have the same condition where the bumps would develop on my fingers. Especially during humid days. Currently I'm looking for the cause of it. I have some ideas out of what might have been the cause of it, however, I don't have enough data to prove it. I was wondering if this community can help me by submitting information of their diet, sugar intake(ie, soda, energy drink, coffee) and what their weekly exercise consist of.

I've read all the comments so far. In my case the bumps start few and small along the sides of my fingers. Gradually they increase in number and get larger, but stay on my fingers and palms. I had this about 10 years ago and it started about 7-10 days after I had surgery, I thought it must be from the pain meds which had ibuprofen so I no longer take ibuprofen. You are correct that the doctors don't know what it is!! Finally oral doses of steroids seemed to take care of it. But.... I just had another surgery about 2 weeks ago, and about 10 days afterward I started getting the bumps again. They first start small and look like ant bites. Now there are more and they are larger, and they hurt more than itch. I just saw 2 doctors and they think it is a contact virus and will eventually go away and that it has nothing to do with the surgery. I think they are WRONG and that it is a reaction to either the meds or something in the IV or anesthesia and it is an ALLERGIC REACTION. I am going to try a Rx steroid cream and apple cider vinegar and hope for the best.

I too had surgery and about 4 days after my release I started getting these blisters on my hands and feet they itch like hell and some were large and some were small I called the Doctor told him what was going on and I was told the same thing it had nothing to do with surgery but I never had these prior to surgery so I know it was from the surgery.  the equipment used wasn't sterile and caused a viral infection this is what I believed happened but they will not fess up or either consider that a possibility not everybody does their job as far as the sterilization of the equipment this very well could have happened and in the mean time I suffer the only thing that clears it up is steroids and 3 days after use they are right back.

LIQUID DISH SOAP...run to your kitchen sink, I will wait. I tried everything, all the medicated creams and powders in the house, every chemical including swimming pool chlorine, every cooking ingredient, and I was about to cut my hands off. then I slathered them in liquid dish soap and the itching stopped. I apologize for not posting this a couple of hours ago when I tried it, but I wanted to see if the itching would return and it hasn`t. I hope this works for everyone. Good luck.
