yea mine hasent spread still only on my fingers and messing with my nail beds making them sore.now i almost have them on all my fingers but no where eles.its weird it can be all over your hands but want spread on the body (thank god). my finger looks like i been burned where the blister were does any one eles look this way?im so embaressed about them when they look at them.im clean in every way but you know how people think it really sucks having these stinking blisters. 8)
i first got the little bumps ALL over both hands 25 years ago, when i was 15. i came back to live with my mother, and the next morning, ( about 14 hours later) i woke up just cover in them. she took me to the doctor, and he said that they were "stress bumps", ie, execema. he asked if i was recently under any new stress...lol...i just looked at my mother and said "yes sir, i sure am." i've had them on and off since then. they're mysterious little buggers, and they do sell cream for them. i only use it when they're are a lot of them, so they don't get infected. My daughter, a 21 yr old with a 3 yr old, and another child on the way, working full time and dealing with a horrible husband, spends a few nights with me whenever hers flares up, and, they go away, just to pop right back up when she goes "home". i'm sorry for her, yet glad that i have the reverse effect on her that my mother has on me. anyway, that's how mine started, and, as long as they don't get infected, or spread to far, you don't need to treat them. hope this helped.

I am a nanny and went to florida for the week with the family i am working for. The day after we got back i started to get the red bumps which feel like tiny splinters in your skin They soon turn to blisters and the skin dries up. They also form in clusters on the tips of my fingers and in the skin between my thumb and pointer finger. The father of the family i traveled with also had them when we returned from florida which causes me to believe they are not caused by stress but maybe a fungus or viral instead, something either contagious or from soemthing we both touched. I saw you posted that there is a cream for this, where do u get it and what is it called! Ic an take these bumps anymore. They are annoying and really hurt the tips of my fingers!! Thanks!
I am not a MD but a Pharmacist, so I see a bunch of skin stuff. Google this, it may help dyshidrotic eczema. More common than people think. If the blisters are not very painful and get large, unlikely that it is viral in nature. The Herpes simplex viruses, someone eluded to, are opportunistic, get very big and painful.
i have been getting these bumps since i was about 14 years old, i am now 24 they always pop up in big clusters on my right hand between the ring finger and middle finger they used to come once in a while and now for the last few months they seem to come daily. doctor has no idea what they come from and i am at a lost for answers. as ive read it seems as though alot of ppl started getting them in there beginning teens and that they seem to flare up more in the summertime hmm i guess i will have to start keeping a log of what is going on when it happens i dont think for me it is stress given the fact that i have been having them daily for months and couldnt possibly have that much stress lol .
I just got them a couple weeks ago. It seem that a lot of people reported being around water the first time they got them. That makes me think it may be a fungus. Especially if lamisil works on them (I'll have to try that!) I also thought mine was a spider bite at first, then I got more small bumps. This was right after a canoe trip. But I think mine may have gotten infected- did anyone's bumps start to turn yellowish? The skin around the area is also VERY red.
I have gotten all these little blister like bumps on the backs of my hands and I have been told it was from the chemical I was using with an oil based paint. I have used udder cream with a little help but the best thing that has worked the best is to take my tweezers and touch the hairs on the backs of my hands and the ones that give a sensation to the blister type bump gets pulled, the hairs I end up pulling are a little thicker than the rest, a bit darker and they look to have a bigger hole than the hair. The cream leaves scars but the hair pulling when done right (all sensitive hairs pulled) the bumps just go away leaving no trace. I am a mid 30's aged male BTW.
I am glad I found this site. I am in Kansas city and recently began to notice a few bumps on my palms, then they go away and now there are back with a ton of them on my palms and now my fingers, around my nails . I can pop them and fluid comes out. my palms itch intensely sometimes and get red. ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS???? WILL IT SPEAD TO MY FACE AND OTHER BADY PARTS?
hi again my blisters came back a little and was wondering if anyone gets these bumps under there nail's and the the nail is very sore and may leak the fluid?this c**p hurts when you hit your nail.thanks %-)
I have pretty much the same thing. It seem to only appear on my left hand, on the sides of my ring finger and middle finger.
It also seem to happen during late spring, or early summer (ie warm weather).
First I'll get these tiny itchy bumps, which then turn to red, dry, scaley, itchy patches.
Upon going to the Doctor/Dermatologist, I was (first) diagnosed with fungus, and was given an antifungal.
When the bumps came back again, the Doctor/Dermatologist diagnosed me with dry skin (dermatitis). I can't remember the exact type of dermatitis, but it was either Psoriasis, or Eczema. Though it was most likely Hand dermatitis (or Hand Eczema), as after checking out images of Psoriasis, it doesn't seem to be Psoriasis. I was given some topical creme, as well as a moisturizer (named cutemol: emollent skin cream) which helped a lot.
This Hand Eczema, though seems to still recurred during the warmer months.

Just a FYI, I tend to wash my hands a lot (a little bit of a clean freak). My Dermatologist did say that this may be one of the causes. I also remember trying on an old ring once, and was told this could of also been the cause.

wow those pictures on the website you posted is the same way my hands look .so what did they do just give you a cream for it and that was it?
I also get these tiny blisters on several fingers each year during the summer. They not only blister, but burn and turn red. Any help on how to get rid is greatly appreciated.
Hi my name is anne I to have these THINGS on my hands I have been getting them for 5 years just came out of the blue, my doctor says it is DYSHIDROTIC EXCMA and has just given me a steroid cream does not help but I only get them is the warm or hot weather hope this helps
I get the same thing. Red bumps on the palm of my hand at the base of my thumb and at the base of my little/pinkie finger on the outside edge.

I use a mouse a lot and I have noticed these are the two areas that touch the desk most often. I find the sysmptoms come and go but get worse when the weather moves from mild to hot (Spring to Summer) and when I am tired or stressed.

Very good page of info here - http://dermnetnz.org/dermatitis/pompholyx.html
Hey everyone. I' have been getting these blisters for about 2 or 3 years now. They come and go as they please. I noticed them first while working at a daycare after applying that thick SPF 50 to some of the kids before going outside. I thought I had an allergic reaction to the sunblock so I started wearing gloves. Nothing ever helped. Now I get them for no reason at all. I heard they were "stress bumps", brought on by stress obviously. I have noted that they have appeared during times of great stress, BUT even at times when I have no care in the world!

They are the size of a needle head and usually appear in clusters. I can't help but pop them and a clear liquid comes out. They seem to immediately fill back up again then begin to feel sore. Mine have NEVER itched, rather cause much soreness as they begin to dry up and heal, They are usually on the sides of my fingers, my palms or on the undersides of my fingers. Unfortunately, all the research I've done comes up with nothing to cure. I found a website that shows what mine look like but not to this extreme) : http://dermnetnz.org/dermatitis/pompholyx.html


I'm afraid that over time these will continue to get worse and I will have hands that I'm afraid to show in public.
