For the past two+ weeks I've had odd "blisters" on the palms, and between the fingers, of my hands. When the skin comes off the"blister", (say, 1/3 to 1/2 inch in diameter) the red skin underneath does not heal normally. I've used triple antibiotic cream, and alternatively, hydrocortizone cream. These "blisters" do not itch, but there are more now than at the beginning. There is no obvious contact (such as poison ivy). I have stopped arthritis meds (nabumatone) but that was at least a week before the "blisters". I am 60.
Thank you!

I cannot make a diagnosis over the Internet, but is sounds like you have eczema. Eczema can be treated with steroid creams. If the hydrocortisone cream doesn't help, consult your dermatologist for a proper treatment.
