Developed a 'rash' in the past 3 months. Started on the wrist then spread across the tender area of both hands between fingers/top of hands. I call it a rash but it is more like very tiny blisters that will weep a clear slippery fluid. And of course, very itchy and burning. Eventually the blisters open and go away then left with dry and splitting skin.
One thought is that it could be a reaction to my own sweat, the cotton liners become saturated quickly depending on activity. I am trying to change the cloth liner more often, to keep a dry barrier against my hands.
My treatment of late has been to allow my hand to dry. Then apply liberal amounts of Vaseline.
Thoughts from others that may be in the same industry?
I've tried attaching a photo, i hope it came through ok.
Thanks everyone
Hi I had a look at the picture and your hand looks sore . It doesn't look like psoriasis but I'm no doctor but what might be better as a moisturiser rather than Vaseline is extra virgin coconut oil which can be go from your local supermarket other than that I can't help but others may have other ideas
The photo didn't come through as google photos won't act as a host so has to be somewhere like imgur.com or Flickr there are other hosting sites but those two seem to be the most popular with our members
