Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Blisters On Fingertips Leading To Redness And Itching Sensation?
I recently broke out with blisters on my fingertips and they started peeling. It started out with red, and very itchy bumps that lasted for about 3 days. Could that be due to an allergic reaction from metal or something? I ve been working with chrome/ metal parts that have a nortex (a corrosion preventative) for three years and never experienced a breakout, should I be concerned or seek medical attention? I ve had the blisters/ cracking and drying on my fingertips and extended down the fingers where I handle the parts, on both thumbs and index fingers for about 2 weeks now
