“She would get tiny pin head blisters on her hands. They would itch and if she scratched them the liquid that came from them was clear. They itched so bad that she could not stand it. It would spread and her hands would crack and peel.”

Oh my goodness...I just sent Rte a pm asking if this is the same as what they have...why?...because I have EXACTLY this same thing on my hands for 3 years now!! Ok, I know this is gross, but they are teeny tiny pin head blisters that break open, spread, and dry up like a calouse on the surface of the skin...the skin peels and more blisters develop. aghhhh...sounds like the same thing...I have soooo many other health issues that when I finally got around to asking my doctor about it she sort of just shrugged her shoulders as if to say that’s the least of your problems ;) Mine is more anoying than anything...its all over the palms of my hands...but one time, when I had to have a blood transfusion from anemia, it completely disappeared for about 3 weeks and then came right back ??? Coincidentally, or maybe not, I have also questioned, for other reasons, the possibility of an ongoing inner yeast infection and also hypothyroidism. hummmmm. I think I’ve seen about a million doctors for a variety of conditions...just none that seem to be able to connect ALL the dots :(

You should have your thyroid checked out. She continually has her hypothyroid medicine increased. I like I said they are not 100% sure if the hypothyroidism was causing the problem with her hands but it has improved greatly since the doctor discovered her thyroid problem a couple years ago and put her on the thyroid medicine. Rarely does her hands break out now and that is why we suspect that her poorly functioning thyroid was causing it.
