Haven't had them on my hands, even tho I scratch the blasted things until they pop (I know, I know, not a good thing to do, but scratching just feels sooo good and they eventually stop itching). A friend of mine thinks it might be exema, she gets then on her hands. I've started using an anti-itch liquid on my feet when they start itching, esp at night when it keeps me awake and drives me complete insane trying to scratch my feet.

I had " Hand foot and mouth " a while back. Causes weird rashes, mainly palms of hand and feet, it is moderately contagious and usually clears up within a week. In my case I got a foot rash, more than hands, my hands just looked slightly red in places, but it varies. http://tray.dermatology.uiowa.edu/sack01.htm Often a pharmacist can recognise these things, but he might expect you to buy a cream for it even if you don't want anything, and it probably won't help. Anyway if it isn't gone soon see your doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Thanks Simon, it doesn't look like that at all. They are white bumps about the size of a pin head and not red at all. Jean is right, if you scratch them they pop. Pam B. > > http://tray.dermatology.uiowa.edu/sack01.htm > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Pam, I occasionally get those, one or two at a a time on my fingers. Don't know what they are but they do drive you crazy, then go away.

Hi Terry, yes, I usually get one or two or three of them, but this time it's a patch of them about the size of a quarter and it IS driving me crazy! I know if I scratch them they will pop and go away... so maybe I should just get that overwith ;0 But it seems to me all the advice about poping blisters and things like poison ivy where you don't scratch them or it will spread has stuck in my head and I'm a chicken that I'll make things worse. Oh well, thank you all - it's good to know it's not just me... I wonder if people without thyroid troubles get them? Pam B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
