What are the tiny clear bumps on my palms & between my fingers?
They itch & then they burn when scratched. I’ve had them for a little over a week, and I can’t identify how I would have gotten them from contact or as an allergic reaction. They’re barely visible and haven’t spread from my hands.
I wasn’t too concerned about it and was simply washing with gentle soap & using cortisone cream, but now my toddler seems to have it too (haven’t seen it yet; my mother called to say his palms were itchy).
Searching Web MD came up with Dyshidrotic Eczema (a fancy name for skin irritation *rolls eyes*) which isn’t treatable other than what I’ve been doing already.
If it doesn’t clear on my little guy within a couple days, or if it starts really bothering him, I’ll make an appt for his pediatrician. In the meantime, any clue what it is & how to treat it?

it isn’t eczema, because to the best of my knowledge it is not contagious, it could be ring worm, witch can cause irritation and IS contagious, but also easily treat able. but your best bet would to keep using the cortizone cream, but go to the doctor and let him look at it. if it is ring worm he will give you special cream and within maybe a few days to a week it should clear up. good luck
Two words: Poison Ivy.
Usually in the form of tiny clear, poison ivy oil-filled bumps. They are especially annoying when they get in between fingers, because they itch like mad from general finger movements and then when you do itch them, they burn and your fingers feel swollen. The more you itch, the more you break open the oil bubbles and spread the poison oils around to different parts of your body or other people you touch that have a poison sensitivity.
The best thing you can do, is wash your hands frequently and then apply Calamine lotion (it’s in a pink bottle at any drug store). Make sur eyou let the cream dry before you start moving around again. Do not itch them and be sure to wash anything that would have come in contact with your hands (bed sheets, pillows, clothing, shoes)
