Question
I have these painful tiny clusters of blister like bumps on both hands (not alot) but a few on palms, finger tips. Palms are itchy but fingers are not....when blisters surface the skin peels and reveals "new skin" underneath. What could this be?

Answer
You most likely have a skin condition called dyshidrotic eczema.  This type of skin condition is usually genetic and made worse by stress.  This skin condition can be treated but not cured.  Treatment is with topical cortisone like prescription Clobex Lotion. In severe cases the treatment is with topical PUVA.  I recommend that you visit your local dermatologist for the correct treatment of your skin condition.
