Herpes looking rash on palms of hand and bottom of feet

For about 10 years, when I am sexually active, I get herpes looking rashes on the palm of my hands and the bottom of my feet. (raised, puss filled looking blisters in patches which are VERY VERY itchy, cannot get rid of the itch with anything except scolding myself with hot water)  

My doctor told me it wasn't dermatits (Eczema) and thought it was herpes.  (Never remember having a rash near my genitalia.)  I tested negative for herpes.

I am very curious now as the rash still comes back when I'm stressed and or when I am sexually active.  Any advice.

sounds like hand,foot, and mouth disease.

You tested negative for herpes.

getting a rash on the hands and feet both is unlikely to be due to herpes.

You need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation.
