Question 1

what causes a blister to appear on your hand?

Accepted Answer

There are many: causes from burns, to dyshidrosis to genetic disorders. See dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment

Question 2

what causes rid of a blood blister on hand?

Accepted Answer

Keep it covered: This is usually caused by a sever pinch to the skin that breaks a small blood vessel under the skin, but does not cut the top layer of skin.  A small amount of blood then accumulates under the skin.  It will go away with time.  You can apply ice to help with any swelling.  Keep it covered with a bandaide.  Resist the temptation to puncture it with a needle.  This could cause an infection.

Question 3

what are possible causes  of the redness, swelling and small blisters on the fingers of my left hand?  the affected area is the end of  the fingers.

Accepted Answer

Possibly infection: More information is needed to determine the cause. What is the color of the fluid in the blisters, clear, colored ? Is it painful ? Redness and swelling are signs of infection and infections of the hand can spread rapidly. This can be a viral or bacterial infection, or possibly a contact dermatitis (irritation of the skin). However it is not something to wait and watch.

Question 8

i just ask a question about bumps on my daughter wrist she said they don't itch but she is scratching them they look like little blisters with a hole ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say!: Rashes that look like blisters in one area, could be a contact allergy or dermatitis due to something like a watch or bracelet, especially with nickel, or it could be due to poison ivy or oak. Also this could be shingles or insect bites.  Consider a Healthtap Prime consult: you can upload a picture there and give more history.  Put calamine lotion or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) lotion over the rash will help itch.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Skin allergy: The tip off is your remark about chronic hives, which would indicate a skin allergy.

Accepted Answer

Burn treatment: 1st degree burns involve only the top layer of skin and generally appear as a red patch, similar to a sunburn.  treatment is supportive (cool water, OTC pain meds).  2nd degree burns are deeper, very painful, and blister.  treatment is aimed at pain relief and preventing infection with Rx Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine).  3rd degree burns are very severe, painless and usually require treatment from a burn center.
