WHat are these bumps?! (Picture)

[BalaRua]

I've come up in these funny lumps on my fingers. They're like spots/blisters and hurt to touch and feel very hard. Does anybody recognise them? Please excuse ds' foot :) they're on my left fingers and then my right thumb so no proper pattern! thanks

I had this once they went away as quickly as they appeared a day or two perhaps described them to a doctor friend and he said they where some sort of wart.

I get this every winter on one hand. For me it's just the cold and because i wash my hands excessively at work (although you'd think it would be both hands!)
Mine feels a bit better when i moisturize everyday but doesnt clear off til the warmer months. It has never caused me big problems but if its very painful maybe the Dr can give you a medicated cream or something?

Looks like Pompholyx. A type of dermatitis/eczema.

Hand foot and mouth?
Do you feel a bit crappy generally?
Any mouth ulcers?

Hate the name pomphlex, the other name is dishydrotic eczema. You can get eumovate over the counter at the chemist now. It is what gp prescribes for mine

I feel ok generally. Had a screaming temp a few days back and extremely itchy hands but the itch has gone. These really hurt. I rang up the surgery to see a nurse but the receptionist said I should see a dr and I'm going at 3.20 this afternoon. They've been worsening for a few days. Definitely not hives

Look like chilblains to me. Have you spent a long period out in the cold recently?

I'm also saying pompholyx eczema - my father used to get on his feet and I get on my hands. Can go months without and will then get a flare up, stress and heat seem to trigger on me, so you can almost guarantee I'll get a break out just as I'm heading off for summer holiday!

Usually lasts a couple of weeks and starts with blisters that feel so deep and sore that you could imagine a needle was embedded (remember my father really hobbling when he had a breakout) they tend to get wider, shallower and go red and itchy before going. On my knuckles they leave some slight flattened scar tissue.

Never found anything that really helps to. E honest, and once I knew what it was, that it wasn't contagious and that it would go I tend to just leave alone as much as possible (not scratching in the itchy phase is the challenge!)

Good luck.

Well done all! It's pompholyx.

I get this but in the summer and my gp said it was a mild allergy to the sun, taking antihistamines clears it right up. Worth a try for those who have found no cure.

Did you get steroid cream? I had to avoid liquid hand wash as it irritates me but I'm ok with bars of soap. Not had it since and I had it for 6 months originally,drove me insane it was so itchy!

Apparently it starts off as an irritation/ allergy then stays. Hair dressers get it a lot my nurse said as their hands are in contact with lots of products.

I get it in the heat terribly - Aveeno hand cream clears it well.

I've got steroid cream and aveeno. Had never heard of pompholyx before today.

its also known as dishydrotic eczema. I used to get it on my hands about 2 weeks before my period, now get it on my feet instead

I sometimes get pompholyx (self diagnosed) on my palms.

I use my mum's Diprobase and it goes.
