Could be coxsackie: Small red blisters on palms & soles can have several causes. Commonly a viral infection (coxsackie virus) causes hand-foot-mouth disease. Treatment is for symptoms.  See your doctor since there are other causes which need antiboitics.

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Coxsackie virus causes hand-foot and mouth disease. The most frequent locations for the blisters/ulcers are on the palms of the hand, soles of the feet, and in the mouth. It is quite contagious, so frequent hand washing is imperative. Self-limiting, so hang in there.

See a dermatologist: How do you know they are bites? You need a skin specialist to endever to define this. When you go, bring all pills, creams, and soaps that you use. Ask everybody associated with you if they have any similar symptoms.

burn on thumb from hot steam.   very red.  looks patchy or maybe "future blisters" (hard to tell)   internet keeps saying hand burns need to be treated differently.  what is best treatment and does being on hand change that?   pain is decreasing.  thanks

Accepted Answer

Size matters here: Any burn's seriousness &amp; urgency of treatment depends on how big the wound is, what caused it, and how deep.  Typically steam from a tea kettle or hot food will be first or second degree. The area, if small and getting less painful and is not surrounding the whole finger or a joint can be treated like any other minor burn.  Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) helps the pain (but is a prescription). Keep clean, protect area.

Question 6

what is the best treatment for a heat blister on the hand?

Accepted Answer

Puncture it: Take a pin and sterilize it with a match and then wipe off with alcohol.  Poke one or two holes in the blister, but do not peel the blister off. This will drain the blister, but leave the outer skin as a protective covering.

Question 7

what is the best treatment for a burn on my hand? i burned my hand on an oven rack while taking a pie out the oven. it hasn't blistered yet, i'm not sure that it will either. what is the best treatment to help with the pain and avoid potential scarring?

Accepted Answer

There : There are three burn classifications which will help you know what to do.

1) first degree burn: usually just redness swelling and pain. Unless it involves large areas of the hands, face, groin, feet, buttocks, or major joint, you can treat the area as a minor burn. If the burn does involve the areas listed, you should call your doctor or go to the emergency room.  First degree burns may have discoloration of the skin for a few months, but do not usually lead to permanent scars.

2) second degree burn: pain, redness, swelling and blistering. As long as the burn is less than 3 inches wide and doesn't involve the body parts listed above, you can treat it as a minor burn. (it sounds as if your daughter has a small 2nd degree burn) you should call your doctor or go to the emergency room if the burn is larger than 3 inches or involves the body parts listed above.

3) third degree burn: is the most serious and the area may not hurt (from nerve damage) and can appear either black or white and dry. This needs emergent medical attention and you should call 911 or go to the emergency room.

Treatment of minor burns: 
1) cool the burn by running it under cold water for 10-15 minutes or applying cold compresses (do not use ice).

2) cover the burn loosely with a gauze

3) take an NSAID such as Ibuprofen for treatment of inflammation and pain relief.

4) do not apply butter or ointments. Do not pop any blisters.

5) keep area clean and dry. Watch for sign and symptoms of infection such as increased redness, swelling, drainage, pain or fever.

6) once the burn has healed completely, the best way to avoid scarring is to keep the area out of the sun for the next 6-12 months.  Sun avoidance is the single most effective way to avoid scarring.

Call your doctor with any questions.

Question 8

what is the cure to get rid of hand foot and mouth blisters?

Accepted Answer

Time: Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is caused by the coxsackievirus a16 most often and occasionally by other viruses.  There is no cure.  It is usually a mild illness with or without fever.  The blister like rash will likely resolve in about 1 week on their own.

Question 9

i am noticing small itchy blisters randomly all over the body. they are at the back and legs and on hand and between fingers . very small in size but are watery. what they could be? what could be done to cure it, haven't seen any doctor yet. advice please

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: A physician will need to examine and know more about your history.  The description does seem consistent with dyshidrotic eczema, but biopsy may be warranted to rule out more serious alternatives.  Cold compresses may help while awaiting evaluation.
