REPLIED

This may be dermatitis, which can end up turning into an infection. I don't know what you have tired, but generally Hydrocortisone (1%) cream can help. If there is any itching taking Benadryl can help. If none of this helps, then you should see your doctor for further evaluation.

Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don’t forget to click the *accept* button!

I'm almost positive that my condition is not dermatitus. I am already putting Clebetasol on it, which is 5% hydrocortisone and it doesn't help any at all.

Hello again,
Sorry about not providing some crucial information on my question. I have some more to add to it. I'll be more thourough. My feet were checked for fungus and atheletes foot and came out negative. These blisters have also popped up on the balls of the lower palms of my hands. It appears that both my left foot and left hand are the worst of them. The right hand and foot are only about 25 percent of the lefts. I have just taken some pictures but it won't let me post them in this reply box. I'll send them to you if you can provide me with an e-mail address or something. Thanks.
Tony

It does appear as though your doctor is right Hun.

Check out this site.

At the bottom of the photos there is a (previous/next) for additional photos.

Now, my Mom has something similar to this as well. Hers will blister, then pop.. and it's red and hurt.. then it will dry up and she can actually pull that dead layer of skin off. She too was given a cream.. (but it didn't help) She then tried the medicated Bond and applied that which has not taken it away but has decreased it. But she has never touched it, so she doesn't have it on her hands as you do..

Let me know what you think ...

By the way.. Nice clear pics from your camera :)

OK....those pics do look alot like my feet....I guess I will continue with my medication. Maybe I need to see a GP for a way to get medication to reduce my stress level. Thats what my doc says triggers this....Thank you very much. I will accept your previous answer.
