... FINALLY!! An answer to my itchy fingers ... woo-hoo! ...

Posted in Healthy Living


I've been so fed up with my itchy fingers this week and so I spent a few hours last night and this morning typing all kinds of things into Google to see what came from it and I think that I finally have a diagnosis of the skin condition on my fingers. It is called dyshidrosis - the pictures and descriptions on the internet are the EXACT match for what I am suffering through. I am lucky that I do NOT have this on my feet ... my gosh, I can't imagine going through that. I also have itching on my arms and lower legs, but I think that is just eczema and/or allergies.

I'm thinking of putting myself through an eating regimen that will take out dairy and wheat for a few weeks. Not my first choice of action, but if the symptoms lessen, then I'll know that I may be dealing with some dietary issues as well. The Lansinoh that my sister recommended is helping some - I need to find a pair of cotton gloves to wear at night to help. Cerave lotion is good for using throughout the day, too. I'll be seeing my Dr. tomorrow for a check-up and am going to discuss this with him to see if he recommends a follow-up with the dermatologist or anything. I'm going to try some of the things recommended on this page ... boy, I hope that some of it works!

Kris, check Walmart for the cotton gloves. This is where I found mine. I think they are in the area with the loofah and bath stuff. Good luck!

Hi Kris,
I use to get a little out break on my hand. oh did it itch, I would rub until the sores were purple and then it would not itch but hurt like the dickens. My first time i got it had a handful of Lilac branches, I thought thats what caused it. That was some 20 years ago. I have had about three or four sense then and none for some years now. And it seem when I was stressed out, so that might be something to look into as well.

Now you might want to give a product called Miracle II
you can get it at a health food store. It does a lot of good things , its a soap , and theres other Miracle II products. And thinking about it I haven't had a breakout for the many years that I have use this product, and I have been stressful at times, lol.

Thank you for all that info cuz I never knew what I had either and although I just had a couple of small bumps on my lower palm side of my thumb it was very painful, so I can imagine how the ones in the pictures felt, oh my.

My prayers for your recovery and no more outbreaks . hugs

:: Getting Healthy ::

I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance and PCOS. This makes it difficult to lose weight, but I am trying my best to get healthy again. I am back to walking and weight training, beginning in September. I hope to add in some yoga soon as well - I've never tried it, but have always wanted to! I am currently seeing a chiropractor and massage therapist regularly to try and get my back realigned properly again, too.

My current eating plan is focused on eating gluten-free foods "from the original garden." I believe that I have food sensitivities and am trying to figure out which items set off the symptoms (rash, upset stomach, etc.).


as of August 29, 2008.

I attend a Lutheran church and am active in many ways. My husband and I lead the youth group. I am a member of the Fellowship & Recreation and the Mutual Ministries committees.
