A member asked:

My little sister has small bubbles in her hands. my mother said it could be a staph infection, but it isn't spreading as fast. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: This may well be vesicular dyshidrosis, a common and generally benign condition. But without seeing it this is impossible to know. Have this looked at by your family physician. Good luck.
