Blisters on Fingers: Dyshidrosis, also known as dyshidrotic eczema or pompholyx, is an uncommon skin condition in which very small, fluid-filled blisters appear on the palms of your hands and the sides of your fingers.

Question 2

i randomly get 2-6 very small blister like things on the sides of my fingers. don't really itch and happens every few months. why and what is it?

Accepted Answer

Dyshydrosis?: Most rashes &amp; skin conditions are best diagnosed by being seen by doc &amp; if condition worsens, I suggest U see dermatologist. But your description is suggestive of a condition with many names, dyshydrosis being one of them. Wikipedia's article on the topic covers it well &amp; includes picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Must be examined: Without a photo Isuggest that you have this rash examined by a physician.

Question 4

i have had severe itching on the palmar side of my right index finger for years now. a painful "blister" pops up every so often. any ideas to cause?

Accepted Answer

Itchy fingers: Several conditions can cause this. Eczema is a common cause of itchy rash on fingers. If a painful blister appears at intervals, it could also be a bacterial infection or a viral infection such as herpes, called herpetic whitlow when on the fingers. Please see your dermatologist when you have the blister.  It can be opened, cultured for viruses and bacteria. Stains can also be done for diagnosis.

Question 5

5-6 tiny pinprick bumps on palms & palm side of fingers. warts, or tiny blisters/callouses? i drove 300mi on sat... but remember no palm pain.

Accepted Answer

Dyshidrotic eczema: is the most common cause of this symptom characterized, as you describe, by irritation/inflammation resulting in small pin-head sized blisters which coalesce and lead to peeling and itching. Associated factors include stress, swings in temperature, hands in water or chemicals. Keep moisturized, regulate stress, wear gloves. May need prescription steroid cream from PCP or Dermatologist. Stay well:)

Question 6

my dad is 84 and diabetic and here within the last 2 months he has got water blisters appearing on legs below knees and feet and one on palm side of finger. been going to wound center to treat but they dont know wht caused it. referd to skin doctor?

Accepted Answer

Water blisters: Is he retaining large  amounts of fluid that breaks through the skin to form blisters? If so, as a diabetic, congestive heart failure or diabetic related kidney damage, which causes huge loss of protein through the urine and thus lowering serum proteins enough to cause edema, may be the problem. Have his urine checked for protein. Another possibility is a skin disorder called diabetic bullosis

Question 7

ichy blisters on finger?

Accepted Answer

Id reaction: A group of little blisters on the side of one or more fingers suggests the "id" reaction to a superficial fungus infection elsewhere. If you make a physician office visit, get all your skin checked. I wouldn't criticize you if you put some over-the-counter topical cortisol on it and checked yourself for athlete's foot for now.

Question 8

there are blisters on my fingers?

Accepted Answer

Dyshidrotic Eczema: Dyshidrotic eczema is a type of eczema (dermatitis) of unknown cause that is characterized by a pruritic vesicular eruption on the fingers, palms, and soles. The condition affects teenagers and adults and may be acute, recurrent, or chronic. A more appropriate term for this vesicular eruption is pompholyx, which means bubble. Treatmen is with topical prescription steroids.

Question 9

what to use to remove blisters on finger?

Accepted Answer

Don't do it!: An unpopped blister represents a closed sterile environment.  Yes on occasion one can become infected then it is time to open it, however the risk of infection in a dressed open wound is still higher than that of an intact blister.  The blister will gradually resolve with time.

Question 10
