What Causes Recurring Blisters On Hand?
hi my daughter has blister on her hand, she had it few weeks ago, we went to see a GP and he said that it may come from flea. we bombed the room, and it came again, and we visit the GP again. He said that it was probably allergy as none of us in the house get it. He gave us antihistamine, which remove the itch and make the blister dried, but now it come back again. Can you help what make this happen? What should i do?thanks.

Hi,
There are several possible causes of recurring blisters on the hand, including:
* Allergic reactions: Your daughter may be allergic to something in her environment, such as a cleaning product or a substance at school or work.
* Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction that occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant or allergen, such as certain soaps or detergents.
* Autoimmune disorders: Certain autoimmune disorders, such as bullous pemphigoid or pemphigus vulgaris, can cause blisters on the skin.
* Infections: Certain infections, such as herpes simplex or impetigo, can cause hand blisters.
See a dermatologist to help determine the specific cause of your daughter's blisters and determine the best course of treatment. The dermatologist may suggest patch testing, blood test, or skin biopsy.
If you notice any other symptoms or changes in your daughter's skin, it is also important to report them to the dermatologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
