Recently I developed small blisters on my
hand that are extremely itchy. Is this an infection?
Most likely, you have developed a condition
called pompholyx or dyshidrotic eczema. It is a rare disorder that presents
with itchy blisters on the hand and feet. The treatment is easy- just use any topical corticosteroid and that will
take care of the itching. You may apply a
cool compress to relieve the itch also. There are some other fancy treatments
if the steroids do not work like immunosuppressants. However, try an over the
counter topical steroid for a few days and if that does not work, see a skin doctor.
The average GP will not have a clue what you have.
