Question 1

itchy rash, blisters, hard black specks on back of hands, wrists?

Accepted Answer

Poison ivy?: Itchy rash with blisters, on back of hands and wrist could be from a few conditions. I would think about poison ivy first, and the hand and wrist could be the area of contact. Scabies is another condition to be thought of. Any contact allergy can present with this also.

Question 2

been experiencing random welts/blisters on my upper back arms and hands. they become itchy and and break open, once open sore can take month to heal?

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune bullous : You could be suffering from an autoimmune bullous disorder such as pemphigus or pemphigoid. It is really important that you go to a dermatologist and have skin biopsies performed to make the diagnosis.  Depending on the results, there are treatments available that may really help you. Don't ignore this rash - it can get worse!

Question 3

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.

Question 4

itchy blisters on hands and feet that won't go away?  they disappear and come back. doctor said hand foot and mouth?

Accepted Answer

HAND FOOT;MOUTH DIAS: Hand foot and mouth disease causes fever, sore throat, blistering sores in mouth and rash on palms of hands and soles of feet.
But once it is gone it does not keep coming back as it is caused by a virus
if it keeps coming back after clearing you need to follow up with your doctor or consult a dermatologist.

Question 5

extremely itchy place 10x5cm on back of hand. no rash/blisters. painfull when touch or scratch. doctor diagnosed shingles. meds does not help. i have porphyria- could this be an attack sudden abnormal hair growth, occasionally red urine. 3 months?

Accepted Answer

Porphyria: Porphyria is a rare disorder and few physicians have significant experience treating it. There is a skin form but other types can have skin involvement also. I think your hand symptoms are caused by porphyria.  I feel you'll have to go to a university hospital to find a specialist in this disorder if you don't have one already.

Question 6

tiny blisters all over hands. spreading fast. itchy and painful. what could they be?

Accepted Answer

General thoughts: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health,

Dermatologic conditions are hard to evaluate without seeing them in person.

Conditions that are localized often are due to a particular exposure (contact with something causing an allergy).
This is particularly true of hands.
These are often itchy.
Anti-immune medicines (antihistmine/steroids) ...

Question 7

why do i have raised itchy blisters on my hands?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: Eczema, syphilis, contact dermatitis are the culprits.

Question 8

what is itchy hands which then causes blisters? and what can i do about it?

Accepted Answer

Dyshidrotic eczema: Itchy condition in the family of atopic dermatitis/hay fever that causes blisters- resolving in about 2-4 weeks. Managed with emollients/steroid creams/anti allergy pills.

Question 9

what do round blisters on hands mean?  kind of itchy and look almost like burns

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Rashes are difficult to describe in words. A primary care doctor or a dermatologist can examine "blisters" to see what they might be.  Sometimes rashes are related to skin friction, viral infections, allergies, irritants, eczema, fungi (tinea), psoriasis, etc... "blisters" can mean different things to different people. A primary care doctor or a dermatologist can help.

Question 10

itchy blisters rash on hands. what could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Dyshydrotic eczema: Dyshydrotic eczema is most likely. It causes severe itching, with small blisters around palms and fingers and eventually developing dry peeling eruptions in palm and fingertips. Stress is the most common cause, but may also be other unknown reason. Allergic or irritant contact dermatitis of hands may show the same /similar picture. Thus, material that your hands in contact with is the cause.
