A member asked:

What would cause small red bumps on my hands that turn into sores then break and ooze. very sore.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dyshidrosis : There could be many causes for this from an infection from a bacteria or fungus to a condidion called dyshidrosis where we get tender sometimes itchy bumps on the sides of the fingers and the palms. You would need to have it checked by your dermatologist.

A member asked:

My illness started with a bad headache and a sore throat. After two days of taking Advil, my headache went away but my sore throat stayed and red, pimple-like bumps were forming all over my hands, feet, and face. Is there a way to cure this?
