Hello Doctor Ditah,
I attempted to up load 3 photos. The photos shows the blister like rash and how her skin is bumpy looking. Her fingers are normally long and very slender...I hope you can see the swelling, it most noticable in the knuckles closest to her finger nails in the photos.
She is at least 5'8" tall and thin. She eats lots of oranges, many other kinds of fruit...and has a vigorous appetite...all of which is seems to be genetic as I and my siblings were (and still) the same when her age, tall, thin and a big appetite.
Please let me know if you did not receive 3 photos.
Thank you very much.

Brief Answer:
Difficult too tell what the exact cause of this rash is!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the images. I have received 6 in all.
It is difficult to establish the cause of this rash from the images. My thinking is that this might represent an allergy or a possible viral infection.
Though the cause is not exactly clear, there are thing which can be done to alleviate and assure healing. Apply a local antiseptic lotion; keep the hands clean and dry and avoid touching water often will help with healing. If she has itches, I will suggest that she takes Benadryl 25mg every 8hours for relief. Should the rash spread further, I will recommend that she sees a dermatologist for further review.
I hope this helps. Let me now what you think and kindly update me about her progress and response to these measures proposed.
Kind regards!
