Prolonged water blister on my hand
Posted , 3 users are following.
I looked at my hand a few months ago and I had a water blister, months before that there is that same water blister and months afterwards there is still that water blister.
What could be causing my hand to have this prolonged water blister? I once had a water blister on the side of one of my fingers and that wasn't prolonged. It is very small so I know that popping should not be done but it seems to occur only on my left palm and not my right which is what I use most often.

Pompholyx means bubble in Latin and the blisters very often look like little bubbles. This particular type of eczema only seems to occur on the hands and feet. If your case is mild, it will settle without treatment after a few days or weeks.
There are several different causes of water blisters on the skin, some of which require medical attention. Generally friction is considered a major cause for blisters for e.g. from a new pair of shoes. But as you mentioned, it keeps coming on your palm, there is a less possibility of this reason. Another cause could be too much sweating. Keep affected area away from irritants such as detergent. Keep hands moisturised.
Finally it could be an allergy. Did you switch to new lotion or cream? Stress also believed to bring bumps few times.

Finally I don't have any allergies because my skin hasn't reacted to lotions other than aloe gel making my already big chest rash I had once even bigger and the only symptoms of an allergy I have on a regular basis are itchy nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and nasal congestion and I would expect something else along with it like a rash if I had an allergy or nausea if it was a food allergy or intolerance and I don't have either of those.

1) my doctor is a neurologist and nerves aren't directly related to blisters
and
2) I don't see my nurse practitioner as often as my neurologist. In fact it has been at least 1 year since I saw her.
3) I once went to urgent care because I was worried that my bloody stool(so bloody it was almost convincing me of menstruation) meant something was wrong when the urine test turned negative
and lastly
4) I don't have a dermatologist
