Have Itchy Blisters On Palm On Drinking Alcohol. Liver Disease Symptoms?
hii. I recently started drinking alcohol. I am finding small itchy blisters on my palm whenever i drink alcohol. They usually starts appearing after like 12 hours i had alcohol. Is it some symptom related to liver disease or any such other problem? I drink very occasionally during party and i do not wanna miss the fun by stopping drinking alcohol. Could please let me know what is my problem exactly..

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Small itchy blisters appears in palmer aspect only after drinking alcohol may be due to allergic response. The allergen may be some additives in alcohol or some particular type of alcohol.
With liver problem the itching will be all over the body so we can exclude it but for safer side get done LFT once.
This may be due to any drug interaction also but usually interaction will be very severe. So if you are taking any drugs routinely or during alcohol, let us know to rule out if any interactions.
For now take anti histaminic and apply topical glycerine. Consult your doctor for further management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
