I have a rash that comes and goes on my hands. Sometimes I get small blisters on the edges of my fingers. It is very painful. What is this rash and what can I do for it?

The rash that you are describing is most likely a disease called hand dermatitis (eczema) or dyshidrosis. Hand dermatitis is very common and has many causes. Excessive hand washing (especially with liquid soaps), detergents, chemicals, and even rubber gloves may be the cause. Hand dermatitis is not an infection and cannot spread to other people. It is important to note however that a fungal infection of the hands can look almost identical to hand eczema, therefore it is important to visit your dermatologist to determine which problem you have because they are treated very differently .
