So, why can pimples appear on the hands? Various allergic reactions, eczema, urticaria - all these manifestations may indicate a malfunction in the internal organs. Which ones, the doctor will tell you. In addition, skin rashes can be the result of external factors (for example, irritation from active chemicals or sunburn). The biological factor can also affect the condition of the skin in a bad way: bacteria, viruses, fungi - all this affects, first of all, the skin and nails.
Any specialist will confirm that when making a diagnosis, one should not lose sight of the possibility of diseases of internal organs, lesions of the vascular system, and foci of local infections. Thus, pimples on the hands are a rather serious problem, and you should not leave it unattended.
Skin pathology
All the ailments described above affect the human skin: all kinds of inflammation, pigmented spots, nodules, seals, a small rash in the formbubbles, water bubbles with various contents (pus, ichorus), finally, pimples on the hands.
Dyshidrosis
In most cases, skin marks of this kind indicate dyshidrosis. This disease can be both independent and be a sign of other skin diseases. The main symptom of dyshidrosis is small bubbles (about the size of a pinhead) filled with transparent contents. Most of the bubbles, as a rule, cover the palms and feet. Thus, the notorious pimples on the hands, most likely, can be explained precisely by dyshidrosis. As for the causes of the disease, they have not yet been established. Most dermatologists agree that the origins of the problem should be sought in the endocrine system. For many people, the disease worsens in the autumn and spring periods.
Dyshidrotic eczema
Pimples on the hand can be caused not only by dyshidrosis, but also by dyshidrotic eczema. How to distinguish one from the other? Eczema is characterized primarily by acute development after the patient's contact with substances that irritate the skin (detergents, washing powders, creams, lotions), stress, emotional upheaval. The hands are very swollen, redden, covered with bubbles, which gradually burst, the field of which the swelling only intensifies (this is due to the addition of a secondary infection). In addition, the patient may experience an increase in the lymph nodes in the armpits. Many patients complain of fever,general weakness, painful manifestations. Dyshidrotic eczema, having occurred once, often returns for no apparent reason.
True dyshidrosis
If the pimples on the fingers are due to true dyshidrosis, they last for about ten days, after which they dry out or burst (this is accompanied by the release of serous fluid). The opening of the bubbles may be accompanied by acute pain, but new formations do not appear.
Other diseases
Skin problems can be caused by chronic eczema, smallpox, scarlet fever, typhus, venereal diseases. In any case, these symptoms require an immediate visit to a dermatologist.
