See dermatologist.: Dyshidrosis (or pompholyx) consists of itchy blisters on the sides of hands (and sometimes feet), and seldom responds to over-the-counter treatments, so don't waste your money. A dermatologist will give you a strong prescription cream or ointment, and possibly and oral or injectable medication as well. (nickel might be the trigger, but often is not.).
