What Causes Small Blisters On Inner Sides Of Palm?

Posted on Tue, 10 Mar 2015

Question: I often got very small water filled blisters on select regions of inner sides of my palm. they squeeze and dry up in a few days. there is no pain but some itching when the blisters are taking shape and become fully turgid. Can you please explain what could cause this?

Brief Answer:
Possible Allergic reactions to Detergent.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

These blisters could result from possible cosmetic allergic reaction to the detergents or chemicals or plant pollen which you use.

Occasionally these blisters rupture leaving raw areas.

Avoiding exposure to culprit detergents can prevent such reactions.

Post your further queries,if any.
