When I first started getting these weird symptoms a year ago, they were accompanied by these blisters on my hands and feet. These pictures aren't too bad. They're usually worse. I'm just waiting on another round of them to show up and make my hands look horrible for a few more weeks.
The closest clinical diagnosis I've discovered is called Dihydrosis. They start as tiny fluid blisters under the skin and group together to form a large one and then surface. This is what my finger and thumb look like after they've surfaced. The first time I got these I could see them coming and they were dark red and deep in my skin. They then rose to the top. Several doctors thought I had hand foot and mouth disease that turned into Mennigitis. Now i find all this time it's caused by Lyme somehow.
I can't find anything online that says Lyme is connected. And the only cause I can find in the list for Dihydrosis is stress... It's so annoying. So unattractive and embarrassing. I just tell people I work with my hands a lot and the skin is soft
It's especially embarrassing when you're dating a new girl. But luckily she understands what I'm going through now.
