Please Help - Can't identify

​Hey there!

Hoping that this is the right place to post this, i've had quite a problematic issue with my right hand; blistering, dry and flakey skin.

I've literally tried a heap of different ointments as well as steroid creams such as hydrocortisone​ cream.

At this point i'd love to see additional doctors/ specialists however none have been able to help me. Hoping someone has some idea of what this is.... There are mini blister/wart like pockets that fill in certain places. I've had the symptoms for 2-3 years now and it seems to be expanding across my hand.

Please help!!! - I have photos but it doesn't seem to let me upload them. I've put them up here;

Sorry to hear that there is no diagnosis and the creams have not helped.. is it pompholyx eczema?

That's one of the more common blistering rash affecting hands.. others not too sure, may have to undergo further testing to find out what's the rash/ trigger.. take care, hope you find some relief soon.
