I have been getting very small dark red dots under the skin of my middle finger tips on both hands but not at the same time, for several years now. I noticed them off to the side of my nail beds at first, but now they are appearing on the fingerprint part of my fingertips. When I itch them the area becomes dark red and extremely painful and slightly swollen. The little red dots remain, and in a week or so, they become a blister and dry up and the skin peels off. I have no idea what this is, can anyone help me?

It sounds like an allergic reaction to something which comes in contact with your finger tips. Try a antihistamine to see if it reduces the reaction time and use an Astringent like Witch Hazel or Benadryl Gel for the itchiness.

Schedule an appointment with your Doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
