Introduction
Several transparent, blister-like small bumps have appeared on the hands, feeling firm and raised. These may be caused by conditions such as dyshidrotic eczema, herpes simplex, or eczema, and treatment should be based on the specific cause. Contact with allergens on the hands may trigger blisters accompanied by peeling skin. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as loratadine tablets or levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets can be taken.
Several transparent, blister-like small bumps have appeared on the hands, raised and firm. These may be caused by conditions such as dyshidrotic eczema, herpes simplex, or eczema, and treatment should be based on the specific cause. Details are as follows:
1. Dyshidrotic Eczema (Sweat Blisters)
Prolonged emotional stress or high mental pressure can easily trigger dyshidrotic eczema, which manifests as small deep-seated blisters in the epidermis of the hands. The blisters are slightly elevated above the skin surface and often accompanied by itching. Under medical guidance, topical medications such as halometasone ointment, desonide ointment, or butyl flufenamate ointment can be used to relieve symptoms.
2. Herpes Simplex
Herpes simplex is a skin condition caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus. It can lead to clusters of blisters on the hands, often accompanied by ulceration and pain. Under medical supervision, treatments may include acyclovir ointment, calamine lotion, or fusidic acid cream.
3. Eczema
Eczema may develop when the hands come into contact with allergenic substances, leading to blisters on the fingers, palms, or back of the hand, often accompanied by peeling skin. Under a doctor's guidance, oral medications such as loratadine tablets, levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets, or compound glycyrrhizin capsules may be prescribed for treatment.
In addition, similar symptoms could also result from common warts, periungual warts, tinea manuum (hand fungus), or other causes. Patients are advised to visit a hospital for proper diagnosis and receive targeted treatment according to the specific condition.
