Allergic changes, urticaria, vesicles on the hands indicate that there are some unfavorable external factors or malfunctioning of some organs. Often, inflammatory processes on the skin are associated with chemical or physical aggressive influences, as well as adverse changes within the body itself. All of these points can cause a variety of pathologies on the skin, as a result of which there are bubbles on the hands. The emergence of such entities can say a lot.
What do the vesicles on the skin of the hands indicate?
Typically, the appearance of such rashes indicates dyshidrosis, which manifests itself as an independent disease or is one of the signs of some kind of skin problems. Dyshidrosis is characterized by the appearance of small vesicles, the size of which does not exceed the head of the pin, and their contents are completely transparent. Basically, their manifestations are concentrated on the palms of the hands, as well as on the back of the hands, sometimes on the soles. The causes of this ailment have so far been little studied, only one thing is known for sure: the main role is assigned to neuro-endocrine factors. The manifestation of the disease is observed in the spring or summer period of the year.
It is customary to separate true dyshidrosis and dyshidrotic eczema. The second type is different in that the onset proceeds very sharply, developing after contact with any irritating substance, as well as with nervous shocks. The skin of the hands becomes reddened, swollen, placers of a large number of medium-sized vesicles appear, which are located in groups or isolated. Over time, the contents of the vesicles open, discharge appears, due to which swelling is even more manifested and a secondary infection is attached. Swelling of the elbow nodes and armpits may appear, worsening of the general condition and fever. The patient experiences discomfort, burning and itching. Dyshidrotic eczema is characterized by exacerbations without obvious causes and a tendency to relapse. Conservative treatment of the disease is ineffective.
With true dyshidrosis, vesicles on the hands are a characteristic sign of the disease. They are mainly localized on the palms, hold for ten days, and then regress. The contents of the vesicles dry out, they often open, pouring out in the form of a serous fluid. Where they were opened, surface erosion appears. Itching and pain are constant companions of the disease, but new vesicles do not appear. There may be other explanations for the appearance of formations on the hands. Bubbles are also a characteristic sign of chronic eczema, infectious and sexually transmitted diseases. A full-fledged treatment entirely depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis made by the doctor.
Bubbles on the hands: treatment
Therapeutic measures completely depend on what stage of the disease the patient is currently at, the size of the rashes and the localization of the process. The clinical picture should be evaluated by a specialist who will choose the right treatment regimen. Antihistamines and sedatives are usually prescribed. Local products such as zinc ointment or special baths with potassium permanganate solution can be used. When joining infectious complications, it is necessary to use ointments based on antibacterial or glucocorticoid agents.
It is important to understand that there are no remedies that can completely cure this ailment. Even after a course of therapy, which culminated in success, the disease can manifest itself again. That is why special attention should be paid to preventive measures.
