What Causes Bleeding Red Blisters On Thumb And Index Fingers?

i have a liquid that seems to be draining from behind my ears and some red spots on my thumb and index finger that end up cracking and bleeding they stay in the same places so there not speading but they don t seem to want to get better. i wear latex groves at work that have been known to cause skin iteration but i use Cortizone 10 but it doesn t seem to wantto get better. And my ears itch alot, could i be causing this by getting the powder from the latex groves on my ears?Is there a soap or cream i can get over the counter to treat this condition. my doctor perscribed a steroid cream.

Hi! I had gone through your question and i would say that latex power can cause irritation of the skin in your ear and In any part of your skin that has contact with latex.
The most important thing that you have to do is to avoid any contact with latex product, to start you can use latex free gloves .
Also if I were your treating doctor I will be sure that you not have a secondary bacterial infection in that case you have to take topical or systemic antibiotic.
It's important to keep your skin not dry cause will irritate the skin .Wash your skin with warm water mixed with oil , so your skin will be moisturized.Use Aquaphor Ointment or Petrolatum after your shower above the wet skin ( do not dry) .

Keep your skin clean and ask an appointment to your treating doctor.
If you have any additional question , please write to us ,I wil be happy to answer you .

Wish you good health.
