What is pompholyx?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through the details you have provided and feel it be an allergic condition of skin known as pompholyx. Pompholyx generally causes itching of the hands and feet. Since these body parts directly come in contact with external objects on a day-to-day basis. The substances that aggravate this condition are pollen, chemicals in detergents, paints, solvents, and rubber materials. When you have an allergy, it is advisable that you stay away from the allergens. There are chances of blisters being infected. Hence, do not puncture them. To control itching, I would suggest you start taking tablet Cetirizine. Based on the severity, you may need oral and topical steroids. Kindly consult a dermatologist for a prescription for the above.

Skin irritation that is caused when you are out in sunlight might be because of rosacea or can also be a cause of sensitivity to a particular wavelength. For this, I would advise you to start using a sunscreen with an SPF 30 (sun protection factor) regularly. You may also need oral anti-oxidants and photoprotective medications that are prescription based. Avoid taking hot beverages and spicy foods.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

These blisters will be tiny, but not deep. They usually get exfoliated along with dead skin. Treatment is required only if any symptoms are present.

Thank you.
