Blisters on fingers with fluid in a child, adults, small, watery, itchy

Content

Most of the skin diseases follow the standard "scenario". Many of these are symptomatic of blisters on the skin (with fluid). Such marks appear most often on the hands. Why do they appear, how are they formed and what kind of diseases can they be?

What is it really

First you need to find out how the blisters appear and what are the blisters on the skin with fluid, because they appear on the hands quite often, turning out to be symptoms of various problems.

A blister is generally a well-defined disc that rises above the surface of the skin. The form of these formations is different.... Blisters are quite dense, appear unexpectedly, disappear, most often, without a trace.

The size of the blisters is varied - from a small seed to the entire surface of the palm. Sometimes bubbles, appearing in large numbers on a small area of the skin, merge into one.

Most often they are colored pale, pink or white. It can occur randomly, but it can appear as a result of scratching. Often accompanied by itching or burning.

A bubble filled with moisture is a surface formation. It is located at the very surface of the skin - under the epidermis. Various processes occurring in the body are capable of causing limited exudation of tissue and intercellular fluids in - this is the blister.

Liquid forms inside. More often - transparent, as, for example, with sunburns, but can have any other color and consistency. For example, if the blisters are the result of herpes, their contents are cloudy.

Whether the bubbles disappear after using the medication, or whether it happens regardless of the medication used, depends on the cause of their appearance.

The outcome of the disease is varied:

bubbles disappear without a trace;
after disappearance, pigmented areas remain (or depigmented);

a scar or pustules will appear at the site of the skin defect.

What causes blisters

In normal situations and in a normal environment, a person should not develop blisters on the skin with fluid. On the hands or other areas of the skin - not so important. They very often develop after prolonged exposure to the sun.

Excess UV rays cause the top layers of the skin to die off. As a result, the cellular fluid approaches the surface of the damaged skin areas, forming bubbles. Over time, it bursts, the liquid flows out. The thin top layer of skin is exfoliated.

Sometimes, with especially severe and deep burns, pain occurs. Blisters on the skin with fluid (on the arms, legs, back - anywhere) caused by solar activity, with pain indicate the death of nerve endings.

In this situation, to eliminate the consequences of burns, you should apply special ointments for skin regeneration... Such drugs improve healing, stimulate metabolic processes, and normalize lymph and blood flow.

If blisters on the skin with fluid are not caused by excess sun, the appearance of such formations on the hands indicates the occurrence of pathology... As soon as they are found, you need to see a doctor.

The specialist will find out what preceded the disease, from what specifically the bubbles were formed, whether medications were used or whether there was work with chemicals.

What is the most likely cause of fluid blisters on my skin? Their appearance on the hands speaks, first of all, about infections... In this case, the vesicle facilitates the diagnosis, since its appearance and the nature of the contents may indicate the type of pathogen.

A quick determination of the cause makes it possible to start treatment in a timely manner. The most common conditions leading to fluid blisters are chickenpox or herpes.

Chickenpox is most often found in children. The age at which this disease manifests itself most often - 3-9 years old... This virus is highly contagious - this means that if a person has not previously communicated with the sick and has not been sick himself, the risk of getting the virus is very high.

With chickenpox, blisters with fluid are located on the skin anywhere, but are most common on the hands and face. Their contents are clear or pale in color. At the very beginning of this disease, there is a high probability of a significant increase in temperature, cough.

In no case should you open blisters on the skin with liquid.whether they are on hand, or in other places. The fact is that the contents of the rash, with the infectious origin of the disease, contains a large number of virus particles.

Forcible opening or accidental ripping off leads to contamination of nearby skin with bacteria. This can worsen the course of the disease, or resume an already terminating one.

It is especially dangerous to perform such actions with the skin of a child, since there is a high probability that a scar or a stain will remain on the skin, which will subsequently be very difficult, if not impossible, to eliminate.

With the manifestation of such problems, pathogenetic therapy is required, including the use of antiviral, for example Remantadine, Acyclovir and similar drugs. Treatment can be outpatient or inpatient (if symptoms are significant).

The course of treatment is about two weeks. With correct and timely treatment, skin rashes disappear without a trace. In exceptional cases, the skin may appear pale or darkened.

In no case should you open blisters on the skin with liquid, whether they are on your hands or in other places.

It is worth knowing that sometimes adults also get sick with chickenpox. Most often, they tolerate the disease worse than children. The temperature accompanying the disease rises significantly, there is severe itching. The general condition of adult patients is worse than that of children.

Allergies

The appearance of bubbles with liquid content is characteristic of contact dermatitis... The main reason for these rashes is contact with allergens or chemicals. They appear very quickly after contact - within 5-10 minutes after the onset of action with the allergen.

Not only small blisters form, but also blisters on the skin with fluid. On the hands, it resembles a nettle burn, which causes itching and redness. When interaction with substances ceases, the reaction takes place on its own.

Sometimes, with severe manifestations of dermatitis, the use of antihistamines is required to suppress the process. During an exacerbation, it is necessary to exclude the use of cosmetics, as this can aggravate the situation.

Fungus

Blisters on the skin with fluid occur and as a result fungal lesions... Bubbles appear on the hands if hygiene rules are not followed in public places. Such manifestations are very common in closed societies: in the army, in prison, in orphanages, etc.

Bubbles are the initial stage of the fungal process, which develops very quickly and spreads to the skin of other parts of the body and skin elements. In advanced cases, skin changes may be irreversible.

Treatment consists in the use of antimycotic drugs. If the development of the disease has reached the deformation of the skin, along with physiotherapy, surgical intervention is recommended.

Corns

Blisters on hands and fingers appear at any age. When skin diseases are excluded, and there was nothing like this before, you need to find out what caused the formations.

They are often formed by excessive rubbing against the skin of an object. For example, a gardener can rub corns with a garden tool. During athletics, calluses are a common "gift".

Thermal burns

Blisters with fluid on the skin may form in contact with a hot object... On the hands, the bubble is approximately equal to the burn area. They are filled with a cloudy substance, which consists of protein breakdown products.

It is important to remember that the more blistered skin, the faster you need to respond and the more serious the intervention needs to be. Such patients are treated in burn departments. Severe burns - by surgery.

Chemical burns

A burn can be obtained not only by contact with a hot object - chemicals can do harm too... hair dyes, pest control products, fertilizers and more.

If you are not wearing protective gloves, there is nothing to be surprised at. In cases of damage to large areas of skin, pain, severe itching, a dermatologist's consultation is required.

Autoimmune diseases

This is a rather rare group of the disease that requires a lot of attention and experience from the doctor. Separately, it is worth highlighting dermatitis herpetiformis, pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid. These processes are characterized by an overabundance of antibody production leading to the attack of their cells.

If blisters, rashes or other formations are found, the origin of which you probably do not know, you should immediately consult a doctor. In most cases, you should see a dermatologist.

Pemphigus. Blisters on the hands occur in severe cases. Actually, this disease is characterized by a severe form of the disease. It is also complicated by a difficult, long process of treatment.

Bullous pemphigoid. Similar to pemphigus, blisters are far from the first place on the hands. Pemphigus is more easily tolerated. Treatment is easier, recovery is faster. However, with late diagnosis and initiation of treatment, this disease can be fatal.

It develops, for the most part, in the elderly. A lot of blisters are formed, the places between them are swollen. The blisters themselves are quite large, with a tense surface. Very often accompanied by severe itching, which is not relieved by the use of antihistamines.

Dermatitis herpetiformis. This disease is characterized by severe swelling and redness of the skin. Small blisters form on the skin with fluid. On the hands, these marks resemble herpes. They appear in large numbers on the extensor surfaces.

The liquid filling them is cloudy. Bladder rupture is very painful. Treatment is a combination of surgical and therapeutic intervention.

Most often, whatever the treatment, the disease becomes chronic, accompanying a person throughout his life. In this case, periods of rest are replaced by exacerbation.

Blisters in children

Children are more susceptible to various diseases, so blisters on a child's hands can be caused by even more reasons.
Herpes. One of the causes of blisters on the hands. Caused by the herpes virus. Rashes can occur anywhere on the body.

Before the appearance, directly, of bubbles, itching and slight pain are felt. After the appearance of bubbles, the pain may intensify, the itching becomes very severe.

More often herpes does not require intervention, however, if there are a lot of bubbles or the child's immune system is weakened, it is necessary to process the formation Oxolinic ointment... 1% -2% preparation should be applied twice a day directly to the bubbles. Do this until they completely disappear.

For the treatment of blisters, sometimes a 5% Acyclovir ointment is prescribed

Sometimes use Acyclovir 5%... It is used for 10 days. No more than five uses per day are recommended.If herpes is accompanied by severe itching, you can wipe the blisters menthol alcohol 1%.

In addition, there are many diseases that can cause blisters on the skin with fluid on a child's hands. Here are the most common ones:

purpura;

chickenpox;

insect bites;

scarlet fever;

shingles;

hives;

psoriasis;

contact dermatitis;

furunculosis;

eczema.

In each situation, establish a diagnosis and prescribe treatment only a doctor can... It should be remembered that improper treatment for some diseases threatens not only with loss of time, but also can cause significant damage to health.
