I have a series of itchy bumps that look like small blisters at the base om my thumb on my palm. I do recall having something similar appear when i was a small child and seem to remember that it may have been allergy related? I am 33 years old male, fit and healthy.
I would keep a possibility of dyshidrotic aczema/pompholyx, which presents as itchy fluid filled blisters/vesicles along the sides of the fingers and toes. The reaction can develop as an allergy to nickel either present in ornaments or ingested in food.
I would suggest that you consult a dermatologist. Your treating dermatologist might choose to give you a short course of oral steroids for a week.
Topical therapy includes application of a potent topical steroid + antibiotic cream twice daily for 2 weeks.
An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine would help in providing symptomatic relief from itching.
regards
