Have had this itchy rash developed on only left hand. Started out just pintpoints, blisters, fluid filled, then fluid opens, very itchy. Then goes away, The skin peels. then nothing for days, then breaks out in another spot on hand. Drs. have said everything from rose thorn disease, to eczema. Stays on just one hand. Never in full flare when you can get Dr. appointment. Been going on over half year. Just wanted to know if any of my fellow RA warriors have had something like this.

Members connected over the frustrating experience of recurring hand rashes that blister, itch, peel, and disappear before doctors can see them, with most receiving an eczema diagnosis and using cortisone cream or therapeutic lotions for relief. Several members shared practical remedies that worked for them, including macadamia oil lotion, stick deodorant for small flare-ups, and persistent follow-up with doctors about potential medication side effects or infections. One member's story offered hope after a full year of mystery rashes, when a biopsy finally revealed a fungal infection that cleared completely with topical treatment, highlighting the importance of advocating for further testing when symptoms persist.

After over a year of this rash the Derm Dr biopsied rash and it turned out to be a fungus infection! With topical medication cream it is now gone after 6 weeks of 2 times a day treatment! She said with our immune systems it is easy to get these infections.

I know it is not cellulitis, hubby has had that and it does not look like it at all. I think it is eczema but it never is flaring when a Dr. sees it.
