Red, some times itchy, painful bumps on my hands and feet :(
Everything I've looked at online says its eczema. Usually I will randomly get a couple here and there and I always attributed it to stress and they'd be gone in a couple days. This time it's the entire thumb side of my index fingers my thumbs as well as across the back of my hand. They are also on the tops of my feet. This has never happened this bad before. Cortisone cream isn't working. I'm on vacation in Florida and its making it pretty miserable. I did read a post where someone mentioned a vitamin deficiency. The post wasn't on here. It was a different forum. Anyone know why this could be? I really need to do something about this also I have been really good about using hand sanitizer at the theme parks and stuff Ugh this is awful. :(. Also I apologize for this disaster of a post. I'm posting from my phone and for whatever reason I cannot see what in typing. Thanks.

I'm not aware of any vitamin deficiencies that cause that. I would guess it's an allergic reaction. You could go to an urgent care center and get looked at.

I have gotten great relief from Fels Naphtha soap. Wet the bar of soap, rub a layer of soap over the bumps and let it dry. Sometimes they will pop like tiny blisters. Once they have popped treat them with calamine lotion and they will go away.
You can still find Fels Naphtha usually at the bottom of the shelf with unpopular items in grocery stores. I also keep Lava hand soap in the bathroom and use that on my hands several times a day.
These are old fashioned formulas that do not have some of the chemicals that are added to modern soaps and creams.
The hand sanitizer might be making your hands worse. Look for a bottle of your own with no alcohol.
