QuestionI have three fingers on my right hand that break out in single blisters and clusters of blisters. The blisters itch and burn and when they pop a clear liquid comes out. The three fingers turn red, the skin gets thick and flaky and the fingers mildly hurt to bend them. I only get these blisters when I am not on birth control pills or pregnant, both of which I am not right now and in a stressful situation. I have just been told that I am in menopause (at 40!) This seems to be hormone related as the breakouts occur as referenced above with stress. I am currently using a herpes cream which has done nothing. No one knows what this is! Help!
