Reason for tiny blisters between the fingers and itching and dryness around the wrist
Patient: I'm 32 yrs old I'm 5'3 I don't have any health issues.  The palm of my hand, in between my fingers, and a place on my wrist started itching some and I have dried skin on my wrist aftEr It had three tiny blisters and I have tiny blisters in between my fingers. I do have diarrhea on occasions. Doctor: Hello,Thank you for posting on HCM.It’s very difficult to approach conclusive diagnosis unless for proper physical examination, anyways from your description it seems you are suffering from scabies.Scabies is a contagious disease caused due to mite and it spreads among people who are in close physical contact and by use of common household articles.Treatment is pretty straight foreword. Firstly, i would suggest treatment of your secondary infection (if any) with oral and topical antibiotics.The key to successful treatment of scabies lies in treating everyone simultaneously in the family and others who are in close physical contact. Your doctor would prescribe oral drugs like ivermectin which will kill the parasite. You might also be advised application of permethrin 5% cream and a corticosteroid with fusidic acid cream. Apply the medicated creams exactly as advised by your doctor. Take antihistaminics as advised to relieve itching and irritation. Avoid sharing of clothing and toiletries and launder all you bedding and clothes in warm water.Hope this will take care of your issue.Wish you best of health.Thank youDr Hardik Pitroda
