I used to periodically get these little thick patches of skin on and around my fingers. Sometimes they'd turn into tiny little blisters under the thick layer of skin, not close to the surface.

For the past week, I've had a comparatively bad case, with more blisters spread over a wider area. They're not healing very quickly like a normal blister would, so I'm a little worried. It was just on my hands, but now I found a patch on my right foot.

Everything I've read suggests that it is eczema.

I've had this for years before, usually in the winter time when it's cold and dry. It would pop up on my hands and last about a week, then disappear. This just seems to keep getting worse.

Don't even talk to me about seeing a doctor, I have no health insurance, and going to a free clinic around here could take a whole day.

I'm gonna try some benadryl cream or hydrocortisone and see what happens. I've been trying to avoid intense heat, but this is New Orleans...
