What Causes Blister Like Sore Spots On The Hands And Feet?
I have been working with the homeless under the bridges. I on occasion will bring their laundry home and take it back to them. Since I have started i have found bites on my hands and feet. They itch so bad they turn into sores and i have yet to get rid of them. I actually didn t notice getting bit until the other day on my hand. I did not see what it was but left a welt and had some infection come out of it and then itched and turned into a sore like the others. Any idea what it could be caused from ?

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that you might be facing extra dryness or infection of skin carried by either pollutants or sweating on the cloths. You should stop washing immediately, apply coconut oil and consult a dermatologist for physical evaluation and treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
