What Causes Red Bumps And Peeling On Finger Tips?

My finger tips first started out with little red bumps that felt like a splinter was inside of the bump or kind of like small blisters. Now my fingertips are peeling its super annoying and no matter how much lotion i use it doesnt help. What could this possibly be? how can i stop them from peeling?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description it seems, you are having a type of eczema known as pompholyx or dishydrotic eczema. It is characterised by deep seated itchy and tiny blisters that usually heal with peeling of skin.
Use a good moisturiser and apply a steroid cream like mometasone cream twice in a day.
Hope this should help you out.
Take care
