Suggest Remedy For Blood Blisters On Hands
I am 72, recently have blood blisters appearing on top of my hands and wrist on left hand and on the second finger of my right hand...I have not abused my hands recently ....my endocrinologist checked my blood test for the thyroid just yesterday and all was normal..Said he doesn t know why the blood blisters or my eyebrows falling out. My dermatologist stated same after he removed a small basil cancer 2 weeks ago....please advise where I should seek help....my GP said may be age related. I have very thick hair on my head and not losing any in that area. Thank you.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have blood blisters on hands. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis , allergic , skin blistering disease , psoriasis , warts , chickenpox or scabies. For now apply cold compresses , do not apply any cosmetic product , take over the counter anti histamine like zyrtec twice a day and protect your skin from direct sunlight as it can also be caused by sun burn . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , allergy test along with skin patch test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory , corticosteroid ointment , crotamiton or ivermectin .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
