clear fluid filled bumps on pinky finer

About a month ago I developed a few clear liquid filled bumps on the top of my pinky finger. They were itchy at first.  They eventually popped (sometimes I would pop them) and they would turn into little open wounds and continue to release small amounts of fluid. Then the area would get really dry and cracked and stay like that for about 2 weeks.  Then it would seem to clear up but start all over agin with the little fluid filled bumps.  I haven't seen a doctor about this yet.  Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I have had about 4 flair ups of this condition in the last year, first time I got It the area of my palm got infected and this travelled up my arm... A friend of mine recommended Dermovate cream for the condition and this is the only thing I have found that clears it up, and also it really helps with he soreness of the cracks that are left after the bubbles burst!

okay guys . update. the lemon  DINT HELP. in fact it got a little worse. so i went and visited an ayurvedic guy. he says to keep off tomatoes and tamarind and anything citrus for now. so as to help the body heal. coz anything acidic will never help healing.
also applying vasaline again as before. the areas seem a little dry. now. desperately trying not to itch. anyway its a slight bit better now. anyway out with the lemon idea.

i have the same stuff, itchy hands, bumps with the fluid, reddishness.. i also have perioral dermatitis ,its like a rash around the mouth , mostly on the chin.
i went to rectify the face first.. after a lot of trial and error, i avoided gluten and milk. and its working . the perioral dermatitis is almost gone.NOTHING ELSE WORKED. so now i am sure this is all a reaction to some kind of toxicity.
On to the hand. 4 the past two days i''m applying lemon juice on the affected areas of my hand. IT REALLY HURTS, FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. then it calms down. seems to have a slight effect. . it doesnt itch since then except for once in a while. and thts when i rub on some vaseline.
i keep a tube of vaseline with me wherever i go. helps to make it look more normal.will update

ciao

I agree kbh114................I have this too, but I've noticed with this last breakout, it's also on my ankles, knees, arms and elbows and the itching is driving me CRAZY!!!!!  Has anyone else had the bumps in these areas............seems everyone has them on their hands and feet, but not these other areas?!?!  Also, like you, I battle not only canker sores, but fever blisters on my lips as well.  Could all of these be linked somehow?  And yes, I do believe stress triggers these outbreaks........for me, I've been under severe stress from a horrible car accident, having neck surgery coming up, going through a law suit stemming from the idiot who totalled my car, missing so much work from the pain I'm in..........I could go on & on with all the stress I'm under right now and these bumps just all of sudden popped up?  I didn't change anything & didn't use any new products, plus I haven't gone anywhere new, haven't been in any wooded areas or near any poison ivys or oaks, etc etc so it has to be stress doesn't it??
