It is unfortunate but you have herpetic whitlow my friend. Whatever doctor treated you was correct. If first sign is itching , then small boils, finally crusting over, then you have it.

I understand that this is dyshidrosis – It flares up for me in summer – possibly when my hands get more sweaty. I find Tea Tree Oil undiluted works – apply it for a few days, and then these generally disappear. They eventually come back again though.

What do you use in the Homepathy line? My 1 year old son has this and on our 5th doctor we finally got a name for it. Everytime he sees another doctor they up his dosage of steroid ointment. And none of them have helped.

Woops as I was saying I think its spreadible because when I pop one and the juce inside gets spread around or something like that well more pop up in that area so dont pop or break skin mo mater how itchy they are. I siggest that you wash hands and put healing lotion on. I also belive that it is contagious because of how many people have it. And once you got it it dont go away you just learn how to deal with it. I TELL YA DONT iRRITATE AND SCRACH CAUSE IT SPREADS AND FOR YOU FEET IRS ALL ABOUT THE CLEAN DRY SOCKS

I have this. I have been treated with steroid cream for Dishydroic Ezcema, anti viral pills for herpetic whitlow, and anti fungal ointment for T. Pedia. The anti fungal ointment worked best, but after 2+ years, I still have it….It itches like crazy, hot water irritates it, stress and sugar cause flare ups, I scratched the bottom of my foot on concrete sooo bad I ended up with a secondary systemic blood infection. Since I was treated for that with levofloxacin the skin rashes have been a little more bearable. Everyone in the house I used to live in has Fungus feet, I treat mine more diligently so I ended up with more aggressive outbreaks. Hydrogen Peroxide works very well. But I can not quite get rid of it. Everyone else has rashes isolated to their feet, mine is on my hands, too. I have tiny blisters that form in clusters. The blisters have little black dots. They look like fish eggs. I wear sandles in my new home all the time and no one here has it, but me. I want it gone!

Good on you for showing these photos. It helps a lot. I get these mostly in summer, when I’m more likely to use heavy creams. The blisters are painful and after they’re gone the skin is red and irritated. It takes a while for skin to return to normal. Stress is a big factor. A foot bath with bi-carb and epsom salts helps a lot.

I just went to my urgent care doc thinking I was going to scratch my foot off… She diagnosed it as dyshydrotic eczema and sent me home with a strong steroid cream. Said to use it 2x/day for 2 weeks and it should be gone. If it isn’t, I’m supposed to start a round of Prednisone. 24 hours on the cream and I no longer itch!!!!! Good luck finding a cure, but I suggest this route!

I had such problems into my both hands and foot.
I went to dr but they have no final medicine to cure. So I just brought one old Ayurvedic book and find out this deasease. I have started blood-purifire tablets and some gugal(one type of tree’s gum). I started it for last 5 Years, and till today, I have only 5%. But during winter its come normally.I don’t know the real medicine,but normally I feel better than past.Thanks.
