I try everything and still. I even got this natural cream name Eczana and it doesn't work as a matter of fact it made it worse. But i have some good ideas from you guys thanks. I will try them & hopefully see some improvement.
This first happened for me in October 2007 when I got a foot problem due to wearing trainers and tight shoes, this has finally cleared up (a year later!) but it was so incredibly itchy and it caused a rash to go all over my body for two weeks. I had to bath twice a day to relieve the pain. The bumps appeared and have been coming back whenever I start to worry about stuff.
It happens whenever I get stressed, and I'm stressed a lot at the moment, the little water bumps appear on my fingers and palms. They increase if I put them under hot water but sometimes hot water is the only way to relieve the itch.
I thought I was alone! I've had two doctors and two nurses look at my hands and none of them can explain what is wrong with them. They've given me creams but they don't work.
I will try and work on ways to make life a bit less stressful and hopefully my bumps will calm down :-)

I'm 43 years old and this just started happening to me a couple weeks ago (the little, itchy bumps with the clear liquid inside).
Nothing in my routine has changed and I'm no more or less stressed in life than any other time. The weird thing is that a co-worker about the same age as me (who I rarely see) said she just started getting this and so did her mother.
A majority of my job involves taking money from people and/or handling their food or tickets. Fortunately I'm a manager and I'm pulling back from dealing with customers hand-to-hand and letting my staff handle most the work. Jeez it sux. I just tell my friends and coworkers I have herpes and we all laugh (but I'm crying inside). :-)
I've been using Neosporin and I guess it helps...a bit. I'm going to try an increase in my magnesium intake as a previous author wrote. Wish me luck and good luck to all the rest of you!

You know, I have been getting the same thing happening to me since I was 20 - I am now 29. I normally get it in the wintertime. I do type a lot so I guess my hands are always in a slightly curved position, which in turn my hands sweat and I get them. They look like red bumps all over my palms which are very itchy but they only peel after they start itching. No fluid in them though, and I get them sometimes on my finger tips. I am glad I am not the only one!

Bubbles in Hand - disappear
I had the same situation for a couple of years. Seen many dermatologists who couldn't help me BUT I just found a cure a week ago - PURE LEMON JUICE. I had pure lemon juice, do not dilute it with water, it is not pleasant to take but the bubbles disappear - I considered my case chronic before I found lemon juice!! Pure lemon juice (one for each day) for at least a week which was what I did and see if it helps. This is a natural fruit no harm trying. Hope it will help you too.

:'( damn it, i have the very same thing...it really itches so ive been scratching it and my hands are all cracked and it hurts now. ive just tried the lemon juice and i can barelly move my hand, since its painful cuz of the cracks..i really really hope that helps, im so sick of having it...does anyone know what causes it??? thanks
If you are getting skin cracks from the dryness on your fingers, you can try what i did, put a splint made of a shortened paddle pop stick (wooden icecream stick) under your finger where the joint is overnight. I use a band-aid cut into small strips of 3, and use one of those strips to attach it to my finger.
This helps the cracked skin heal by minimising the flexing motion that stretches and cracks the skin. I use this sometimes in conjunction with moisturiser and the cracks heal up faster.
I've only had this for 4 months, the small red dots followed by dry skin that then later peels off. damn annoying. i think i'm going to replace my washing detergent after reading all these post.

? I have tiny hard bumps with red centers on the sides of my thumbs and index fingers, they peal and the skin gets raw. Not itchy, but slightly painful when scratched. The skin in that area feels quite hard.

Hi everyone, I also faced the same problem. The little bubbles grow on my fingers and little bit on my palm. This is the 1st time I got this bubbles.Is there any effective cream to apply? They make me feel very very itchy. The itchiness will not disappear even I took the itchy oral medicine from doctor.
What happen to me? I live in Malaysia, a hot and moist country. I think this is not about weather but allergy to something. What will be the allergen?? I'm confuse too.
Not sure, but the "yellowing" drying up and going away makes is sound like flat warts. I'm currently trying to figure out what they are also. I get like 1 or sometimes in rare cases 2 tiny clear bubbles that show up at the base of the finger or between the knuckle area. Like yourself they appear only occasionally through out the year.

i have the same problem, same symptoms for many many years...may be 15-20 years now...i tried so many things but nothing works...earlier i lived in india in hot weather now in US for 9 years and have same problems...so weather doesn't really matter...it started with 1 finger and now i have on all the fingers except for one smaller finger which i am sure will have the same problem by next year and now i have it on my feet too...
hydrocortizone, jojoba oil, citafell ...nothing works for me...doctor says it really doesn't go away but reduces...it never happened to me...its very annoying when i see the bubbles, burning, hard skin, skin peeling and new skin again... for me, my finger skin replaces at least once a month...

I am 32 years old and have been getting this for many years now. Same stuff that everyone else describes; usually when the weather starts to get hot or stays very hot then my hands start to itch. Bubbles form and then I scratch them to tear them open and clear liquid comes out. My hands then have open wounds on them until they dry up and scab over. Not very pleasant to look at to say the least.
I started getting these when I was about 18 years old in the Army. The medics would give me hydrocortizone (sp?) cream, but that didn't do anything. Years later, in college, I was told by a doctor that it is some inhereted skin disorder that is not life threatening. He said what happens is, when you start to sweat your hands (and some people's feet) do not let the sweat out of the pores in the skin and it instead accumulates. These places then start to itch because the body wants it out obviously. It will continue to itch until it comes out, at which point you break the skin to let the sweat out. I don't know how accurate that is, but he is the doctor -- although he was not a dermatologist either.
What I found is, just stop putting cream on it. It is unavoidable that once they start to itch you have to let the sweat out. It might sound barbaric, but while I was in the army I just got used to taking a knife and cutting them open to release the sweat, then taking a handkerchief or towel and squeeze the fluid out. Then apply whatever you want to make the open sores heal quickly. If you don't do this, then you will just continue to itch without relief in your own personal hell. At some point, I would take a cerraded knife (the kind with the jagged blade, like on a Gerber Gator) and just run that lightly over the skin to pop the bubbles easily and relatively painlessly. When the skin got thick then I would just cut it with the blade. It sounds painful, but its not since the skin is in a dead like state.
Oh well, maybe that will help some people -- maybe not. All I know is, from my experience it is better to just cut the things open and soak up the liquid and apply ointment to heal the sores and just get it over with. Then put on some gloves to keep jerms and curious eyes away.

I am a 22 y/o female and I also suffer from "hand excema"; I have had it since I was young.
My advice to those who have any form of skin condition is to try cleansing - specifically by doing a "detoxifying footbath". I work at a natural health office in Santa Cruz, CA and we have a few patients that have excema or psoriasis. After doing a footbath every week for a couple of months, these patients' conditions have improved greatly.
The footbaths work by using ionized water to pull toxins out of the body such as yeast, heavy metals, etc. If you can find a place to do these cleanses, I highly recommend it!

So I had the same issue. Started as small "bubbles" on the feet (esp. between the toes.) Then moved to my hands. It just happened one summer, I thought it was poison ivy, but nothing helped.
Anyway, to make a long story short, my fam and I vacationed in Alaska, and it got so bad, the blisters got HUGE, like an inch in diameter. I could not walk anymore- I had to use crutches.
MY derma perscribed 5% LCD in zinc-oxide- The LCD appears to be a coal-tar derivative. It began to clear in less than two days, and was gone after several months. To my knowledge, neither of these ingredients are steroids.
The Rx had to be mixed at an apothecary (annandale apothecary, in annandale, va). The dermatogolist was Dr. Silverman for anyone in the Nova area.

Wow, I am surprised this topic is still here. Well, I was the sixteen year old girl on the second page, I think, and I've been using a product called Leocomb F (google it!). I think it's only from Asia, but you can try to get it. And I think it really helps.
My fingers on my right hand, excluding my thumb, used to have a lot of bubbles and dry skin, and now, about only two have it, and it's very slight. If you guys can get a hold of it, well, slather it on and wear a glove, overnight. And when you wash it off the next day, there's a huge difference.
Also, does anyone with this problem also experience pitting of the nails and having the skin from the bottom of the nails separate from the cuticle?
