Try changing your detergent (you may find that a certain soap, detergent/ laundry soap or fabric softener (shampoos, hand soaps Etc (try literally going soap free for a while- you can still wash and scrub in the shower but DO NOT TAKE HOT SHOWERS hot water dries and is really harsh on your skin and washes away natural oils (as do many soaps/shampoos) as well as causes more blisters/ itchy skin.but try just running cloths/ sheets through the wash cycle without detergent (it does enough to clean without soap unless theyre HEAVILY soiled cloths/sheets) see if this helps ya - it helped 3 separate cases for my buddies - OH ALSO NO SCRATCHING WITH FABRIC BETWEEN SKIN!!! IE NO SCRATCHING FEET THROUGH SOCKS! HANDS THROUGH SLEEVES ETC this is the worst!

I have the same thing after using anti-bacterial foam handwash.I have no allergies so I thought.I think that's what causes my hands to get hives.

I have had the same bubbles and itching since I was a teenager (I'm 40 now), and they seem to appear when I'm overly stressed or if I've been overexposed to certain chemicals (diswashing liquid, hand sanitizer, etc.). I was diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema. When I was diagnosed, the bubbles would cover my fingers and most of the bottom half of my palm, and the itching was almost unbearable. I don't remember what he prescribed for the itching anymore, but it worked. It was some sort of hand cream.
I limit my exposure to certain chemicals (I avoid hand sanitizer altogether), and I make sure to use hand lotion (preferably unscented) to moisturize. Although I still get the occasional bubble or two now and then on the bottom of my palm, they don't itch much and they go away faster. I know it's really, really, *really* hard, but do NOT scratch them too much and definitely do NOT pop the bubbles. It makes it worse. You are just aggravating skin that's already pretty angry. Fuel on the fire, if you will.
The hardest part about having this condition is that it will never really go away. You just have to manage it. And, to top it all off, doctors don't really know what causes it. It appears to be a combination of external and internal factors, which is why it's difficult to treat.

Lucas paw paw ointment seems to clear it up if applied several times a day over about a week long period.

My boyfriend, now husband has them for about 2 years before I did! At first he would never touch my hand when he had them to avoid giving it to me, eventually I got them, so I agree it's contagious

I get this it's horrible. I find soaking my fingers in warm salt water dries it out, kills any infection. It gets rid if this almost to the point of disappearing then boom! It flares again. But this does give me some weeks of no itchy skin. I find this works better than creams and is so much cheaper. Even the 1% steroid cream didn't work. I don't bother moisturising when skin dries either as that seems to encourage a flare on me. Hope this helps

I have exactly the same conditions for many years. since teenage it became worse. In childhood only peeling was there in a year.
Now when the season changes, summer or winter i get these symptoms. No common doctor can diagnose this. Its pretty rare what i found is it gets triggered when there is a change in season/ temperature. Its a modification by our body to adapt.

Sometimes my hands and feet gets so much itchy. I cant bear them. I have suffered it years. It occurs 2 times a year regularly when season changes.
Its because of excessive body heat. Where ur feet and palm's skin gets thinner to remove excess heat.
The bright side of this condition is we get Fever very very rare. Enjoy the Mutation.
No doctor can explain this. Because its rare and ita not in their syllabus.
Treatment: keep ur body very cool. Consume lot of vit c. It helps a lot.

I have had it all my life it's annoying - I am 60 it comes & goes-mostly in the winter it seems to be worse. The first time it was very bad was because I was washing my hands a lot. I found I was also allergic to ivory soap (very drying) I switched to Palmolive and using non latex gloves that time it got better. Sometimes it is because of a new shampoo, or the laundry detergent- could be anything - try getting a pure Coconut oil
to use as a lotion - with no other additives it is the richest natural source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), special types of fatty acid with ANTIBACTERIAL and ANTIMICROBIAL properties that are very nourishing to the body. It is especially high in the C12 chain of MCFAs known as Lauric Acid, easy enough to try - also use that as a body wash nothing else. for your hair try one of these either the Tressume avocado or coconut & chamomile find the non stripping natural products. Good Luck!

About 4 months ago I got a bad case of bronchitis, and I have had the blisters on my finger and then turning callus like for a couple of years. I tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing worked. I had read to eliminate zinc from my diet and use soap less soap nothing worked. But since I had the bronchitis I read that zinc would loosen up the phlegm and help me get over it sooner. So thinking the zinc would help that it would increase my problem with my finger. I started taking the zinc 50 mg every night at bed time for two months trying to get over the bronchitis and I finally shook it. But to my surprise I noticed I was getting fewer blisters and less callus on my finger. I now continue to take 50 mg zinc at bed time and I no longer have any blisters or callus on my finger. I am not saying this is a cure but it works for me.

I've had this on my hands multiple times a year for many years, and recently discovered that my father (absent for most of my life) also has it. Definitely fits with the genetic allergy theory. In times of stress it is most noticeably worse for me.
"The skin is initially very itchy with a burning sensation of heat and prickling in the palms and/or soles. This is followed by a sudden crop of small blisters (vesicles), which turn into bigger weepy blisters and can become infected, causing redness, pain, swelling and pustules. There is often subsequent peeling as the skin dries out, and then the skin can become red and dry with painful cracks (skin fissures). Pompholyx eczema can also affect the nail folds and skin around the nails causing swelling (paronychia).
The exact causes of pompholyx eczema are not known, although it is thought that factors such as emotional tension, sensitivity to metal compounds (such as nickel, cobalt or chromate), heat and sweating can aggravate this condition. Fifty percent of people with pompholyx have atopic eczema as well, or a family history of atopic eczema. Pompholyx eczema can coexist with fungal infections, so assessment should include checking for the presence of any fungal infection on the hands and feet."
