We knew it was an allergy but it took a while to find out what I was allergic to. Are you taking any kind of medication that might be causing this? My first thought was also a soap or fabric softener allergy as well.

    Get better quick!!

    No, I haven't taken any medications. I thought of that too. These are not between my fingers, except one is between my index and thumb, and it's more toward my index finger.
    I have been wracking my brain trying to think of anything I've used, touched or eaten differently. There very well could be something and I'm not realizing it. I just hope they go away like many of you said yours did. And preferably before I go on vacation.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I have gotten these before and actually am being bothered a little by them now. Right now with gardening and painting some garden things, I wash my hands a lot too. I had not related that to their appearance before.

    I have no idea what they are but someone told me they might be related to the fungus that starts athletes foot. So I used the medicine for that and it stops the itching and seems to dry up the spots. I am at work and I know there are a couple of different ointments for athletes foot so I will check when I get home about what the ingredient is that works for me.

    I have thought about this, but just didn't want to admit it. I actually have athletes foot in one spot on my foot (THANKS BRUCE!!) and it's been there for months now. I stopped on my way to work to get Cortizone and picked up a can of atheletes foot spray. But I think I'd rather have a cream to rub into my hands, not the powder spray I bought.
    At this point I'll try anything!!! So that will be my next step. Thank you!!
