Experiencing Swelling, Painful Peeling, Cracking And Bleeding Finger Tips
I have had eczema in a since birth and now im experiencing the most swollen painful peeling cracking bleeding finger tips and finger pads and palms. it starts with bunches of tiny blisters or vesicles that when broke cause the cracking and peeling and pain and swelling to begin. I can hardly move my at all or touch anything because the pain and swelling is so bad. it is causing me to look for other types of work, i m even considering disability, all because of my hands. it is ridiculous and not to be able to even turn off a light switch.

Hi,
It may be atopic eczema. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some allergens responsible for the disease. The trial and error test may be done to find out the culprit. Oral steroid, antihistaminics and topical steroids may be considered.
Hope this helps.
