Small Red Bumps On Back of Hand Posted: 05-25-06 22:53pm
I occasionally get these small red bumps
on the back of my hands near my thumbs.
These itch quite a bit. It always
happens when i'm on vacation, either
fishing in canada or in oshkosh,
wisconsin. I get quite a few of them on
my right hand and a few on my left (i am
right-handed). They kind of swell up and
are a nusense. Occasionally I get a spot
or two like this on my hand at other times
of the year, but always get a lot of them
on vacation. I have taken careful
measure to make sure I am using the same
soap on vacation as I use at home. At
one point, a nurse told me she thought
these spots looked like a staph infection,
but I would find it off that it would
always happen at the same times in the
same places. I have tried using
hydrocortisone and triple anti-biotic
cream, neither of which helps a whole lot.
Does anyone have any ideas...I am
probably going to go to an allergy
specialist, but wanted some ideas
first...Thanks in advance for light anyone
can shine on the matter.

Have you tried using an antihistimine?
Such as zirtec, clarytn or telfast.
Definatly sounds like an allergic reaction
to me.
