Brown marks with many small blisters?

[Kirol]

Ok, so I've been having a look around the internet. Still, can't find much on this...
Lately, I've been inflicted with what seem to be tiny pin-point brown spots (they don't seem to be very deep into the skin) which appear alongside many tiny (what seem to be) blisters, which are only slightly raised from the skin until irritated. (Then they become enlarged/enflamed.)
It started on the palm of my right hand, and is now just between the middle finger and palm. It now seems to be spreading to the same places on my left hand.
Upon stretching the skin, it causes moderate discomfort and make it itchy. (Though scratching has little effect other than hurting, really.
On my left hand, the small blisters seem to be spreading up my middle finger and are causing no end of annoyance as my ring finger keeps rubbing against them, irritating the nerves and making it itchy.
As far as I can tell from what I've read up on the internet, it could be Phytophotodermatitis. Then again, I'm British. There aren't really any plants or anything that can inflict such ailments (like poison ivy) over here, at least thatI would come in contact with. I've also been feeling sick (physically sick) in the mornings, a few hours after I wake.
Sometimes, taking my daily dietary supplements (I'm vegetarian, need my pill for iron and luten) forces violent regurgitation despite me having nothing prior to eat.
Any suggestions on what I could do / another type of diagnosis?

Definitely a wart. They are very contagious which is why you saw it jump from one finger to the adjacent finger. Please take care during an outbreak not to pop them (which will cause it to spread) or touch your face or other body parts. It is caused by a viral infection (papillomavirus : HPV) You may have gotten it by shaking hands with someone, or on a grocery cart or shared keyboard. The virus invades the outer layer of skin, usually through a tiny scratch or cut, it causes rapid growth of cells on the outer layer of skin – creating the wart. Also it attacks if your immune system is weak. 1. wash your hands thoroughly and regularly 2. use those wipes on the grocery cart before you use it 3. if you go to the gym before you workout with equipment someone else sweat on who might have the virus wipe it off.

This is common remember that warts can spread quickly and as soon as you see an outbreak you should act immediately. Try trying at home treatments salicylic acid or clear nail polish or tape or any other method that suffocates the virus. If that is not working for you see a dermatologist, they can freeze or burn the wart off, and you might ask your doctor for an immune boosting medicine.

I have lived in California, Washington and now Arizona. No matter where I have lived each year around August I begin to see these "dots" with the slightly raised blister. I admit they itch like hell and I end up popping the blister. Which looks like a deep circle and the dot at the deep bottom. Yes, they start on my palm just one, then a cluster of 4-6 tightly packed will appear at the inside of my thumbs, yep both hands. I also get the ones between the fingers. I don't realize it is there until the blister has burst and the hard crusted skin rubs on the other fingers. I do want to know what it is since it happens to me regularly (yearly). I was thinking it is from things I touch more at that time of year (I drive school bus) and keep my bus clean, but I have to use the approved industrial cleaners. Yes, it hurts as I have them still. I also want answers. Hopefully we can get one and post it here to help each other. I began driving bus in 2007, so this makes no sense for all the other years as to why I get them. No one else around me seems to have them. My hands now look as though I've been pulling weeds and the roots with the darken lines and the dryness that these blisters leave behind.

I have had something very similar to what you all have been talking about. I get tiny little blisters that will itch until I scratch them and then they will pop leaving behind a little brown dot inside of the blister area. This dot will hurt until I squeeze it and eventually get out that little dot of something but it is not a splinter or anything like that. I get them in a little bunch in between my fingers, on my fingers, my palms, but mainly they come now and then all over my fingers and palms of my hands. I have been to several dermatologist and no one know what they are nor how to fix the problem. The only thing that I have found that helps these blisters is Tea Tree Oil. After daily a couple of times a day with this. They seems to take away the itch and pain more and then once these tiny little things are out; it goes away for several months. I hope maybe this can help others who have not found out what this stuff is yet. God bless you all.

I ALSO have this, and I was under the impression it was dyshidrosis, but after today, I think all doctors are idiots and a waste of time and money. They only thing I've noticed that seems even remotely connected to the small dots and blisters is stress. When I don't take my xanax prescription regularly and/or cut down doses, it gets worse and is more easy to irritate. If you want to look into dyshidrosis, I would recommend it, but it doesn't seem like much is known about it. I've read the wikipedia articles about it and a few random others, but nickel and stress seem to be the only factors linked on it, and no one really even seems to agree if THAT is correct or not. Sorry, I hope this was helpful, good luck.

My 7 Yr Old On Has A Yellow Lookin Blister With A Brown Dot In The Middle That Has Doubled In Size Since Yesterday! Wth?

I have this too.  Tiny blisters on the side of my middle finger and tiny brown spots just below the surface of the skin.  Mine don't itch though, but it does seem to be spreading.  I just assumed it might be athletes foot on my hand, and I started putting Tinactin cream on it.  I've been using the cream for a few days now and it has helped, but not as quickly as I hoped it would.   Right now, it looks as if the little blisters have cleared up, but not the little brown dots.  In case you haven't seen the advertisements, "Tough Actin Tinactin" is an anti-fungal cream used to cure and prevent most athletes foot infections.  The stuff says to use it for 4 weeks, and I've only been using it for about one week, but there has been some improvement.

I get the same exact thing and have been getting it for years. Usually they just go away after two weeks or so, but one time they got so bad i had to go to the dermatologist and he shot me up with steroids to bring the swelling down. he told me they were water blisters but i think that is untrue. I don't think it is Phytophotodermatitis as that occurs mostly on the outside of the hand not the palm side which is the only side effected on my hands. It is as the base of my fingers and they work their way up to the tips but the worse blisters always seem to be my two middle fingers at the base and i see smaller ones develop inbetween my other fingers. I have health insurance kicking in soon so I will go to a dermatoligist again for a second opinion.
