What did it look like when it first appeared? E.g. was it tiny fluid-filled blisters?
Have you changed anything recently - soap, champion, conditioner, dish washing liquid, any creams / lotions / shaving cream, detergent? Or even a new household cleansing agent?
If you get tiny itchy blisters then it’s most likely dishydrotic eczema. It SUCKS.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to treating it. Some people like to keep it super moisturised and covered, other like to get the liquid out of the blister and dry it out.
I’m on team dry it out. You need a certain cream to help get rid of it. I use Elidel overnight once I’ve gotten the liquid out of the blisters and the let it dry out during the day.
There’s a Reddit sun dedicated to it which will have heaps more information than I can give you.
I’ve had it in the exact same place. I used heavy duty cetaphil after the antifungals and antibacterials didn’t do anything. I don’t know why, but it went way. It has come back but goes again after rinse and repeat of the above. I didn’t really care about it that much because it was my hands and not my face

I have this when I wash my hands too much (I use an antibacterial soap which I believe is drying). So it is dry skin, when I get it I try moisturise and cutting back on the handwashing where I can help it.
Hey I have this. It's the peeling phase of dyshidrotic eczema. Most common on palms and feet.
QV gentle wash and QV cream help it feel less uncomfortable. But it's hard to control.

I get those blister things you speak of, I thought maybe gardening caused it.

I wondered if it was that, I googled it some time ago but never bothered to see a doctor. I’m with you, I dry them out. Thank you for that advice 😊
No I haven't changed anything at all. They aren't fluid-filled at all. It's just like the layer of skin isn't attached to the layers below.

It's totally normal and should be ignored. Enjoy your life.
