See a MD. It could be poison oak or ivey. This could also be Psoriasis. This could be chickenpox. Hives can cause small blisters. Take a antihistamine this should help with itching. See your General MD

Hello,

Redness on the elbows can be due to contact dermatitis or friction lichenoid dermatitis and the hand blisters can be due to contact dermatitis or pompholyx. The exact cause of pompholyx is not known and excessive sweating can be one of the reasons. But some triggers like allergic reaction to soaps, detergents, foods, latex, nickel etc may trigger the symptoms. Apply some calamine lotion on the affected area and keep the area well moisturized. Use only thin applications of moisturizer ointments as excessive amounts of ointment may restrict breathing of the skin and aggravate the condition.

Topical steroids can be applied but they are available under prescription. Moreover to prevent infection, topical antibiotics may be needed. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated.

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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
