Suggest Treatment For Small Blisters On The Fingers

I have been under a lot of stress, and have developed a lot of small blisters on the palm/fingers of my hands, they are filled with either pus, or water? They itch sometimes , but I also think it may be related to a cleaning product MR Clean multi bacterial spray.. I have used Hydrogen peroxide and Zeasorb antifungal powder, I am not sure what this is, Any ideas? thank you

Hi,

It may be pompholyx.

Pompholyx is a form of hand/foot eczema characterised by vesicles or bullae (blisters). It is a form of vesicular dermatitis of hands and feet, also called vesicular endogenous eczema, and may be the same condition as dyshidrotic eczema. It is sometimes subclassified as cheiropompholyx (hands) and pedopompholyx (feet).

You consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis.

Pompholyx is multifactorial. In many cases it appears to be related to sweating, as flares often occur during hot weather, humid conditions, or following emotional upset. Other contributing factors include-Genetics,
Contact with irritants such as water, detergents, solvents and friction,
Association with contact allergy to nickel and other allergens,Inflammatory dermatophyte (tinea) infections,Adverse reaction to drugs, most often immunoglobulin therapy...etc

I would suggest...

- avoidance of suspected triggers
- steroids in tappering dose
- antihistaminics
- application of antibiotic,antifungal or steroid cream as needed
- Dettol cleansing

I hope this would help you..

Thanks.

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
