For the last several years I'll get a periodic outbreak of little water blisters on my right middle finger. Same spot, and no warning or common circumstance that I can figure. I'm terrifying myself online because it looks like something called herpetic whitlow. Does anyone else have another explanation for what this could be? I'm not looking to replace actual medical advice, I'll be mentioning this to my doctor within the next month when my bennies kick in again. The blisters are not painful or red, but when they start to appear, they are very itchy. Then they just go away... only to return month later. I have used a hand sanitizer and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it......
Don't look online for answers to your disorders! I know it's become pretty popular to do it but they jump to big conculsions that are usually the worst case scenario so don't worry about that. The best I can think of what this is could be just plain friction. That's my best guess but maybe your doctor will have a better answer for you. What do you think?
