Question
What should be done to properly handle blisters on a 3-year-old’s hands, accompanied by mild itching?
Answer
During spring and summer, babies may experience itchy blisters on their hands. After these blisters burst, there will be a significant amount of peeling on the palms. Typical symptoms include itching on the sides of fingers, palms, or soles, followed by blisters forming in the deeper layers of the skin, varying in size, sometimes merging into large areas. The itching may gradually worsen, and there might be a stinging sensation. Once the blisters dry out, there will be peeling and persistent itching, which will then gradually subside. The entire process usually lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks. By collaborating with a doctor and with the assistance of medication, early prevention of miliaria rubra can be achieved, helping the baby through this period of recurrence and maintaining healthy, delicate hands.
