strange happenings a going on.

For about 7 or so years, I've gotten small pin sized red blemishes on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet. These sometimes turn into small, uncomfortable blisters with a clear fluid. When popped and thoroughly washed, they turn into pockets of peelable dry skin. Funny thing is, sometimes it goes away for months.Usually, when I'm working a real "hands on", kind of job. When idle, or working a physically unchallenging job, it returns. I'm in my early forties, and I AM an alcoholic. Not sure what this is and have been unable to find it on internet. Is there some kind of over the counter remedy? It makes my palms and feet very unsightly.
