Small areas appear below the surface of the skin on both hands. The areas are about the 1/8” to ¼” in size not necessarily round. They seem to be like blisters below the skin. They do not hurt unless pressure is applied like with a fingernail. The discoloration which again appears to be below the surface of the skin almost appears transparent almost like tapioca. The areas appear mostly on the sides of the fingers. The areas feel somewhat hard or firm when touched. After 2-3 weeks some of the areas start to come to the surface and the skin over them begins to dry out and flake off. Not all of them do this. Some just disappear after a few weeks. These seem to have lasted about 4-5 weeks and then disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared. I think they might have been caused by something like Herpes simplex which causes fever blisters or possibly warts. Some research suggests it might be Pompholyx Eczema. However, from what I have learned about this there is usually some rash or itching associated with it. I do not have any of that. Some of the areas exhibit Umbilication (formation of a depression at the top of a papule, vesicle, or pustule) and Induration (dermal thickening causing the cutaneous surface to feel thicker and firmer). Could It could possibly be one of the following: Papule – a circumscribed, solid elevation of skin with no visible fluid Nodule – morphologically similar to a papule, and most frequently centered in the dermis or subcutaneous fat. I included these because they somewhat describe the symptoms.
