small pin size blisters on hands
by heather, Feb 13, 2001 12:00AM
just lately i've gotten these small pink/red blisters
on the plams and inside of my fingers,they hurt alittle
mostly of the morning and as the day goes by they seem to
fade,when they go to heal they get alittle brownish dot
in the center.from what i've been reaing and all i can find
is that it might be some type of Eczema?if so,is it something
that is only treatable (never goes away) or can i get rid of
it???
thanks for you comments.

Heather:
Sounds like dyshidrosis, a form of eczema once thought to be due to "bad sweating" (that's what the word means.) Actually, we don't know what it's from, but it isn't catchy and often doesn't even need to be treated. If the symptoms start to bother you, your dermatologist can help.
Best.
