Causes and treatment of water pimples on the arms, palms, fingers

The cause of the inflammatory process of the skin can be any factor that has a strong influence on the human body. It is he who provokes rashes on the palms and face. They may appear immediately or may have an incubation period. In any case, acne on the palms should be examined and checked by a qualified specialist.

Kinds

Depending on the appearance, rashes can appear in different forms. In the presence of various pathologies, acne will be characteristic. As a rule, they itch, sting, cause pain, or, conversely, may not manifest themselves at all.

The following types of rash are distinguished:

• white bubbles;
• blisters;
• warts;
• small red dots;
• large formations;
• transparent bubbles.

If vague rashes begin to appear on your palms, you should immediately seek medical help. Only a specialist can make a correct diagnosis and prescribe effective methods of therapy.

Individual reactions

First of all, this is, of course, an allergy. Including allergic dermatitis. The body of both an adult and a child can react to food, cosmetics, medicines, plants, etc. by the appearance of a rash or blisters. An insect bite can result in a similar complication.

Any manifestation of an allergy, especially in a child, can lead to a life-threatening complication - Quincke's edema. Therefore, it cannot be ignored, even if it is noticed in the form of small pimples on the palms that itch. For such cases, at least one antihistamine should always be present in your home medicine cabinet:

• diazolin;
• suprastin;
• clarotadine;
• tavegil;
• zodak, etc.

Already the first tablet should relieve or significantly reduce the painful itching. If this does not happen even after two or three doses of an antiallergic drug, the reason is most likely something else.

Perhaps we are talking about an individual reaction to stress. This is called psychosomatics. If the day before a person was pretty nervous, he may well find itchy skin anywhere, including small pimples on the palms that itch. In this case, tea based on a sedative mixture will help, of course, in the absence of an individual reaction to the herbs in its composition, or monocomponent tea - with chamomile, mint, oregano, etc. Motherwort or valerian tablets, herbal syrups Novo-passit, Persen. Only a doctor can prescribe serious medicinal sedatives in case of severe or chronic stress.

Causes

Before making a decision regarding treatment, it is necessary to determine the factors that could provoke such a reaction in the body.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

This is one of the most common causes of rashes. This is explained by the fact that when the functioning of this system is disrupted, a redistribution of excretory functions occurs, which begin to be accepted by other organs. These organs include the skin.

Therefore, if the intestines cannot cope with the processing of any product, this problem begins to manifest itself in the form of a rash on the skin.

Allergic reactions

Often the cause of rashes is a contact allergy. The manifestation of symptoms is noted only after direct contact with the irritant. These include:

• Food;
• pet hair;
• dust;
• household chemicals;
• toxins.

In most cases, rashes occur in people who do not use gloves while cleaning. When an allergen comes into contact with the skin, red and white pimples may appear on the palms.

Excessive hand sweating

With strong sweating, rashes begin to form under the skin, which are accompanied by unpleasant sensations and scratching.

With excessive sweating, the sebaceous glands become clogged, which provokes this pathological condition. In adults, acne may appear due to frequent isolation.

With the constant use of gloves in connection with work activities, the skin stops breathing, causing the hands to constantly sweat. The result is a small rash.

Fungus

It can provoke subcutaneous rashes, while causing severe discomfort. The disease is unpleasant and requires long-term treatment. The fungus is characterized by a violation of the integrity of the skin and itchy dermatosis. If action is not taken in time, the infection will begin to spread further, affecting the nails and wrist.

Infectious pathologies

Most infections are accompanied by a watery rash. This is a rather unpleasant condition not only for children, but also for adults. In addition, other symptoms contribute to a deterioration in overall health.

Diseases such as rubella, measles or chickenpox cause severe discomfort. Each disease is characterized by its own specific rashes, but they are all united by similar symptoms and increased body temperature.

Failures of metabolic processes

Pathologies within the body also contribute to the development of skin problems. In the case when a metabolic disorder occurs, the rash begins to appear on the fingers, after which it covers the hands.

In the absence of timely treatment, the rash progresses and the pimples itch. Therefore, it is so important to seek help from a specialist at the initial stage of the disease.

Hereditary predisposition

If a person has a tendency to subcutaneous rashes. Which is inherited, it is unlikely that it will be possible to avoid such a condition. In cases where treatment does not bring positive results, we can talk about diseases of the internal organs.

This rash tends to spread quickly. Acne localization occurs in areas with more delicate skin.

To accurately determine the cause of the rash, the help of a specialist is needed. Because in this case, in addition to genetic predisposition, there may be an allergic reaction of the body.

Hormonal imbalance

In most cases, the appearance of acne on the palms for this reason is observed in adolescence and in women after childbirth.

The provoking factor here is an increase in secretion , against the background of which pores become clogged and pouches form, into which various types of infections penetrate. Such pimples should never be squeezed, as this may cause further spread of pathogenic bacteria to other parts of the body.

Also, experts do not recommend using the cauterization method in order to prevent the formation of scars, which will not be so easy to get rid of later.

Psychological factor

Frequent stressful situations and mental disorders also cause rashes on the palms.

In addition, acne can also result from direct contact with toxic agents or chemicals.

When to see a doctor

You can consult a doctor to determine the cause of the rash on your palms. Your doctor will help you identify the trigger and recommend treatment. It's also important to see a doctor if you have ringworm that doesn't respond to treatment, or if the rash shows signs of a bacterial infection. Symptoms of a bacterial skin infection include:

• pus
• edema
• feeling warm to the touch
• fever

People with hives or allergies should go to the emergency room immediately if they have trouble breathing.

Symptoms

In some people, rashes on the palms are not accompanied by any symptoms and go away on their own after a certain time. However, in most cases, the course of the pathology occurs with pronounced symptoms. It could be:

• burning and severe itching;
• discomfort and pain;
• increased sensitivity of the skin;
• irritation;
• swelling.

In addition to local symptoms, the disease is also characterized by general symptoms:

• increased body temperature;
• excessive sweating;
• bowel disorders;
• nausea;
• joint pain;
• irritability.

Also, if the cause of acne on the palms is a malfunction of any system, then you may experience a sore throat, swelling of the face and tongue, and rhinitis.

Types and forms of the disease, symptoms and signs

In practice, there are several key stages of the pathological phenomenon:

• the infection penetrates the upper layers of the skin,
• the skin turns red, becomes swollen,
• it develops itching, pain,
• when the main pathogen reaches the deep places of the epidermis, a bubble forms on the skin, inside of which there is pus,
• the patient at the next stage suffers from throbbing pain, inability to bend a finger,
• if suppuration affects fatty tissue and tendons, there is a possibility of a deterioration in general health and the appearance of fever.

Panaritium can also be divided into several types - cutaneous, subcutaneous, periungual, tendon, formed under the nails.

Itchy rashes, called pustules on the finger, are traditionally localized in the skin of the palms, on the side of the fingers, while there is a transparent film on them, and there is liquid inside. After some time, the elements begin to burst and the liquid comes out. A brown crust appears in place of the previous sore. The process is accompanied by hyperpigmentation and the feeling that the patient is about to get better. However, this feeling is false.

In places where pigment spots form, cracks, nodules, and seals subsequently form that peel and itch. If timely therapy is not started, then bacterial elements, viruses, and infectious lesions can penetrate into the resulting cracks, which give rise to diseases of internal systems and organs.

It is important to know! If a person finds signs of the disease on his hands, he should immediately contact a specialist. He will carry out a full examination and determine the cause of this condition, as well as prescribe rational therapy.
