Everyone knows what normal skin should look like. Often, people notice any changes in the structure of their own skin, but may not pay attention to it or write off everything for allergic reactions.
However, if you interview the entire population of the Earth, you can find out that every second, well, or third person, there were specific rashes in the form of small bubbles on the palms and feet.
Sometimes these are pronounced changes in the structure of the skin, but there may be isolated elements.
So what is it: bubbles on the fingers?
Undoubtedly, this situation requires the consultation of a dermatovenerologist, who will conduct differential diagnostics between the elements.
In the classic form, vesicles on fingers are a manifestation of dyshidrotic eczema. This disease has a predominantly neurohumoral character and most often occurs after severe stress and anxiety.
As a result of damage to the nervous, immune or endocrine system, a malfunction occurs in the process of tissue regeneration. Due to which, small cavities are formed in the surface layers of the skin into which fluid from capillaries is secreted.
Dyshidrotic eczema can occur not only on the fingers, but also on the plantar surfaces and on the back of the palms. In advanced cases, rashes are quite extensive and spread almost over the entire surface of the palms and feet.
Bubbles on hands are transparent and hard to the touch. Sometimes they can open themselves and ulcers and erosion form. The contents of the vesicles can also be purulent if infection occurs.
An interesting fact is that the bubbles on the fingers can have a linear course, along the small nerve plexuses. This once again proves the neuro-reflex origin of this disease.
Patients with dyshidrotic eczema need to limit contact with all allergens and irritants. After all, they not only provoke the formation of new vesicles, but also contribute to inflammation and opening of existing formations.
Eczema, among other things, can also be allergic in nature, so it is important not only to prevent contact with possible allergens, but also to determine this substance if possible.
Eczematous vesicles with transparent contents do not cause itching and burning, but if an infection joins the process or the vesicle opens and suppurates, then patients may be disturbed by itching and discomfort.
Bubbles on the fingers must be treated together with a dermatologist.
Self-medication in this situation is absolutely contraindicated, and even dangerous. The patient alone can only establish a diet, work and rest - this is also important. It is necessary to limit the intake of salt and products that cause water retention in the body (beer, salted fish, carbonated drinks and mineral waters). It is recommended to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits (only for which there is no allergy). Porridge and broths should be included in the daily diet.
Patients with dyshidrotic eczema (manifested as bubbles on the fingers) need to be more in the fresh air, try not to worry and sleep at least 7 hours a day. It is useful to take baths with aromatic oils and herbs, as well as swim in the sea and walk barefoot.
But the medication will be described in detail by the attending doctor. According to indications, sedatives and sleeping pills, antihistamine drugs, acupuncture and other types of physiotherapy can be prescribed. During the heat of the season, various baths and lotions can be used - they accelerate the processes of tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and prevent infection.
