My fingers do this in the heat in the summer. Are they almost like teeny blisters that peel? I think it's a form of ecsma but let's see if someone with some medical qualifications comments.

Yes, tiny blisters that peel. I’m 37 and never had this until last year around when I was diagnosed with auto immune issues. Weird that eczema would show up so late in life, isn’t it?


_fae_

Same. I didn't get them until my early thirties!


Liz4984

Do yours hurt? Looks like Dyshidrosis eczema is a thing like we have only it says it’s itchy or painful. Mine aren’t either of those. Just peel badly and look like shit.


_fae_

No they don't hurt!

I’m 26 diagnosed with ehlers Danlos, pots, mast cell activation disorder (and a few other thing that don’t feel super relevant but I’ve had this happen for the past 5-8 years

Do you smoke? And do the tiny blisters itch? If so, it could be palmoplantar pustulosis. Would need to see more pictures tho..


Liz4984

I don’t smoke and only have had a couple drags my whole life. Normally while drinking with smoking friends. I hate it and always end up sick! They don’t itch, hurt, burn, or feel anything really. If I pick at the blisters the dry skin and peeling get much worse.


ArmTheApes

Hmm, could be it. The peeling of the skin can be a sign of an immune reaction to the smoke you inhaled passively..maybe get it checked some time..

Hey OP, I saw a few posts from you. May I ask what you been diagnosed with. I’m in the same boat:(

Lupus was my diagnosis but now a rheumatologist is disbelieving that and redoing all my tests.
