Small White Itchy Bumps on the Palms/Fingers

Recently ive moved in with my partner in the good ol town of milford delaware. Ever since moving in, i feel like im a walking disorder. First i encounter two fungal infections in a months time (Athlets Foot and Ringworm) and yesterday, only to wake up with small, white itchy bumps on my hands. I have not changed any of my daily routeins (Shower twice daily, hands are washed regularly from working in the hospital) and the sheets are changed weekly.

The bumps are randomly scattered around the hands on the palms and some on my fingers. They do not look like they are puss filled but some of them have sorta a clear color in the center of them (Centers are like a pin-prick size if not smaller). I was trying to take a pic with my macbook camera of them, but they are too small to capture. they are about the size a 16 gauge needle would make when piercing the skin.

I have heard everything under the sun what these could be, someone told me maybe syphillis when described to them, but from what i understand, syphillis does not itch, and is larger red bumps.

I am DESPERATE for answers right now, i have not gone to a doctor yet because i do not have health insurance now (hasnt been offered to me yet) so i would really love to see if i need to seek immediate medical attention or not before i spend hundreds paying for stuff thats unnecessary!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have a similar problem but not quit as severe. My bumps on my hands and fingers are like little blisters and itch like heck. When popped they ooze water (or so I thought). I saw my doctor after the first break out and he prescribed Lotrisone. Pretty expensive cream even with insurance. Along with cortisone, it went away after a few days.

I know these bumps well, I get them when I'm down physically and (most of all) emotionally. Ringworm and athlete's foot, same thing, they are everywhere and just require a compromised immune system. All of them represent irritation. See if you can remove some stress from your life.

Hmm, maybe ill try that. Did they say what they were? Someone told me to look up Windslow, and its DEFINALTEY not hat by the look of the pictures (although google shows the worst in that situation possible). Isnt lotrisone over the counter?!?!

sounds like scabies to me. My dauthers had them when they were little and we didn't know what they were until a friend told us. You'll have to see the dr. to get medicine to get rid of it. Then you'll have to wash your sheets in really hot water and do a through cleaning as scabies lay eggs, and they spread. GOOD LUCK !

Ugh, im always stressed! Maybe thats my issue. This isnt the first time one of these appeared. Ive saw one before, but just one. I picked it off immediatly thinking it was goin to turn into some big wart and it went away. But this time i picked one and i got kinda freaked out about it and kept thinking, omg, this one was in a different place, what if i got them all over, im going to get them all over my hands! And they were, a day or two later there they were, absolutely horriable! But you think they are just goin to go away by them selves if i dont worry about them?!

No, I find they stay, while I'm stressed. You're "allergic to somebody" - could even be someone you love, but who is of a different kind. "Let go" of him or her, allow them freedom. Try to really see that stress is much extra work and a useless waste. Get a homoeopathic remedy against nervous tension, take it every half hour. If your job allows, lie down flat over lunch for 5 minutes, aware but relaxed. Find a peaceful tune you like and recall it wherever you go, instead of fretting. Make sure they are not the start of chicken pox etc. - probably not but check your body. (What a lot of rude commands.)

You See, i thought they were scabies (after reading what they looked like) but i dont think they are, they seem to be going away, i almost think its stress related like others have said. I get stressed out over NOTHING most of the time. But ill look into it! Thankx for your insite!

Hi. I had something similar several years ago, and the dr. said it was a type of wart. He "froze" them with a solution, and they have not come back, but I do have slight scars. It was a simple one-time procedure. Good luck.

You know, i though about that before, but warts dont itch that bad, do they?! These look like they could have something in them. But when i dont think about them (like earlier) they do not itch, and i think they start to vanish!
I think its all stress related! But ill look into that
