I think I have something similar to what you describe...but it has gotten worse and worse. A breakout doesn't even clear up before another begins. It has gotten to the point where I will have spots and larger patches of almost all my fingers with these blister and scaly patches. what kind of soap are you using? I am 31yrs old and have never had an issue with my skin until about 1 1/2yrs ago but am desperate to find any relief!! I work in a kitchen and wash my hands constantly so trying a special soap my be a good place to start. Grateful for any help you can lend.

Hi,
I have fought the blistering of the hands and sometimes on the feet for over 20 years. They are pin head sized blisters that are very itchy, then the skin peels for 3-4 weeks. One doctor had me on Nizoral for 4 years, which was a waste of money as it was not a fungus. Then about 4 years ago another doctor told me it was Dyshidrosis exemia. and that it cause was probably nerves.
Every doctor I have seen over the years expressed that it was nerves. I disagree with the nerve thing. I started to log when the break outs would start. That may be a funny way to start. But, I had noticed at first that I always broke out on a Sunday or a Monday. I know this sounds hokey. Then I got to thinking what I did over the weekend that triggered the blistering outbreaks. As it turned out I shampooed our dogs either on a Saturday or Sunday and always broke out the next day. So I started wearing gloves and the out breaks stopped their regular attacks. One time the blisters hit so hard and fast, my hands swelled and I could not remove my rings. I had to have the rings cut off of my fingers..you talk about expensive!
Then, I noticed that every time we traveled I would start breaking out with the blisters half way to our family visits. As it turns out it is the Antibacterial soaps that are the triggers. The soft soap varieties don't seem to be the culprits but the ones that are in the public restrooms in gas stations, schools, resturants and etc. Another culprit is the waterless hand cleaner that are steeped with antibacterials.
After I quit using these soaps I have quit the blistering. And just this week I have re-confirmed my suspicions....I am a teacher and have to clean art brushes...and use the soap in the dispenser to clean them with and got some of the soap on my hands and now I have those itchy annoying blisters.
So, I would advise anyone who has a problem with the blistering to carry their own soaps with them in small bottles....avoid public restroom soaps all together....and of course if you have dogs shampoo them with gloves on. It took me the better part of 20 years to figure all of this out it was the antibacterial soaps. If you suffer the Dyshidrosis exemia...and get the blisters....it is worth a try.
I even had a doctor recommend me to soak my hands for 20 minutes 3 times a day in Hybaclis (not sure of the spelling) but it is the same as surgical soap.....and the blisters went into a sever infection, glands in my neck and underarms were inlarged...the blisters went into pustuals all over my hand....and of course the surgical soap had a antibacterial property in it.
For years we have been told to us the antibacterials to prevent the spread of germs......but I am 60 years old and plain soap and hot water will do the same....After all I have lived this long and do not suffer colds and flues....

I have small, itchy, red blisters on hands and feet. My feet get extremly itchy at night. I've seen several doctors and they cannot figure it out? I seen alot of comments regarding the hands, which I will try because I am highly sensitive to alot of things, but I did not see much advice about having these blisters on the top of feet? Any advice? Thank you
It'll go away. I had them during my first pregnancy, during my final college exams, my divorce, and now again amidst a rocky time. I truly believe they are my body's way of reacting to stress and signaling me to slow down and make some changes.
I need to know what this is. I have water blisters on my hands and feet, and red like dots on my hands and feet. Nowhere else, and they don't itch. What are they? How can I get rid of them?
