Hello doctor,

I have developed many blisters on my hands and feet with a clear liquid in them. They itch and burn really bad and pop very easily. What can be done to ease them?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Kindly send me the pictures if possible for better evaluation. With your descriptions, it seems you have developed Cheiro-Pompholyx. Pompholyx generally causes itching of the hands and feet. Since these body parts directly come in contact with external objects on a day-to-day basis. The substances that aggravate this condition are pollen, chemicals in detergents, paints, solvents, and rubber materials. When you have an allergy, it is advisable that you stay away from the allergens. There are chances of blisters to be infected. Hence, do not puncture them. To control itching, I would suggest you start taking tablet Cetirizine. Based on the severity, you may need oral and topical steroids. Kindly consult a dermatologist for a prescription for the above.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
