[Brendonlovee]

Hi I have low blood sugar so Im always checking my blood sugar and pricking myself well I was passing my hand through my hair and two of my fingers started hurting and they were the main two I usually prick then I checked and there were several little holes in my fingers that are very painful but the last time I.pricked myself was last month why is this happening

Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis or pompholyx. The exact cause 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.
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.

    I get these little holes in my fingertips and I don't prick myself as I don't have diabetes.  But, if i touch Dawn dishwashing liquid I get these little bloody holes on my fingers.
    You might be allergic to something you touch or use.
