I've gotten a few tiny blisters between my fingers during the summer months, but this time it's intense.
I have lots of tiny blisters all over my left hand and a few on my right. They itch a little. If I pop one, the fluid is clear. Not poison ivy. They thicken my skin.
Since starting doxy, my skin is sore. I also had a break out on my scalp, but that is mostly gone.
Anyone familiar with hand bumps/blisters?

I have had the same thing. My friend also had it and she said the doctors told her it was neurodermatitis, which is just duck speak for "We don't know what it is or what causes it but it's probably psychosomatic" lol
Now that I think about it, I got it pretty bad when I was on doxy. It's only happened a couple of times since then, but when I was on doxy I got it quite a bit, on my fingers and skin between fingers and my heels.
I wish I knew what it was or what caused it. I am thinking it might be some sort of fungus or parasite being flushed out of the body, but it's just a guess.

It's a better reframing to think of these bumps as some sort of detoxing from the body. Nicer to envision getting rid of something than steeping in something disagreeable!
A lot of neuro-ish skin stuff is happening on the doxy. Don't think it's allergic... least I hope not!
Your reply helped. Thanks again,

These tiny bumps were my first signs of infection. I wound up getting a staph infection in the middle of my hand. Had to go to the hospital and have my hand drained. Be careful if these thiny bumps become open wounds....can easily pickup another infection. You know our imunity isn't the best.
