rash on my hands?

Question

i have a wierd sort of rash on my hands, mainly between my middle fingers. they're quite red and sometimes itchy. they seem to be growing in a circular fashion but i don't think tis ringworm because my sister had ringworm a while back and it doesn't look like that. i do wash my hands A LOT because i'm a compulsive handwasher and though i do moisturise a lot, my hands seem very dry. the rashes also appear with tiny, tiny blisters around the rashes too.

any ideas what this could be? many thanks.

I get the same thing, but not on the underside of my arms. My hands get really dry, especially between the fingers, and at the joints, usually the skin breaks. I have to wash the dishes with rubber gloves during the winter (that helps keep it from getting worse) but it's just chapping. My mother is a nurse and always had the same thing. Mine has gotten worse as I've gotten older. Mine is not itchy at all, just really dry and that makes it feel irritated, but it's not like poison ivy. I think it is just because I am fair skinned (I am not particularly sensitive to a lot of other things. I also get a patch of dry flaky scalp in the front of my hair, near the forehead hairline, every Winter--I use T-Gel shampoo on it a couple of times a week to keep it at bay, but it never goes away all the cold months of the year.) I really think it is the drier, Winter air that causes the problem. I recently discovered aveeno brand hand lotion, it does temporarily relieve the problem and make the skin more pliable and less vulnerable to breaking open. (Gold Bond hand cream and Sally Hansen hand cream also work well, but I like Aveeno the best. You can buy a generic version at the drugstore too and save a few bucks.) Also sometimes washing your hands with gentle soap before bedtime (like dove) then rinsing and covering the worst spots with neosporin or aquaphor (made by eucerin) can help. Nighttime is a good time to really moisturize your hands. You can even buy cotton gloves to wear at night, lotion up really well and slip them on. Doing this consistently will soften up your hands some. I don't think there is a cure all for it though. Always carry hand lotion with you. Good luck!

This very much sounds like ringworm,a fungal infection which you may or may not have contracted from your sister through contact.To dispel my opinion simply apply an antifungal cream like miconazole 2% or clotrimazole 1% twice a day for at least one week and continue for three days after the rash has vanished.Good luck!

lotions can sometimes cause this rash, however, i had a rash that looked like teeny blisters-they would clump together, burn and itch, break open and puss over, then my skin would be rough and dry and cracked. then, just as they healed, my hand would break open. it seemed to worsen when i came into contact with water.

i found out it might of been because of the antifrizz lotion i used in my hair-silicon as well as other ingredients....so i quit using it.
it improved, but then returned. i then found out it was my liver...damaged by chronic hcv and my liver wasn't filtering things out of the body.

anything you put on your skin is absorbed. chances are in my case, i was allergic to the lotion because of my liver.

to be on the safe side, i'd get a work up on a liver panel and go from there.

good luck

Have you changed dish detergents or anything? I always used Ivory but thought I'd try Dawn as it was stronger. My and my husbands hands both got rashes like that.

Answer 7

It sounds like an allergy, you can get allergic to anything at any time despite using the product reguarly,
I understand you have an ocd but your not helping your skin when they are sore and irritated by keep washing them, if you can slap on some E45 or sudocream and some thin cotton gloves when you got to bed and it will help them heal, wash off the next morning

Answer 8

could be scabies? ringworm, dermatitis or allergic reaction to the moisturisers.. scabies goes scaley, itches and is highly infectious... ringworm can be just as irritating.. and washing too often as you say you do takes natural oils out of the skin , id get help as you seem to have a compulsive disorder and seek medical advice on the hands

Answer 9
