I'm pretty sure this is what I have as well, also brought on due to stress. I tend to use sudocrem on it. It doesn't get rid of it but it seriously stops the itching, used to keep me up at night something awful. I'm just too embarrassed to show the doctor but if you can, probably best to see if they can prescribe something instead. If you can avoid it, don't burst the blisters!
Diprobase is good too.
Hydrocortisone creams work (a bit) for me but they thin the skin. I think Elocon and Dermovate fall into this category.
Other than that it's just wait and try to chill.
Because I knew it was going to happen, I have a tub of Hydromol Ointment for the night, and Palmer's Cocoa Butter hand cream for day time use. Thankfully it is not as serious as it has been in previous years, (perhaps to use of ointment and cream?).
I was just posting this on here to see if other struggle with their skin this time of year?

The only thing I've found that helps is not scratching ( v difficult I know) and like others have mentioned putting Sudocreme on the blisters.
Boots do a very good hydrocortisone cream that can be bought over the counter. I'm using that at the moment, and in combination with the moisturisers I mentioned above are keeping the blistering and itching in control.
Whatever I've got, best of luck with yours, all of you who've got it. x
I sometimes get a rash of small itchy pimples. Often in the summer, but not all the time. My GP prescribed Hydrocortisone cream. This seems to do the trick and they go within a few days. More recently, my skin started flaking and peeling between my fingers and hands. This hadn't happened before, but I put some moisturising cream on and that also worked.
For years I was prescribed aqueous cream which may have been making it worse. If it gets very bad I use a hydrocortison (Fucibet) but try to avoid because of the skin thinning and the risk of it eventually adding to the problem. The trick seems to be to get on top of it as soon as it starts to appear. I was referred to a dermatologist who recommeded handcreams containing Urea - which until recetly I got in Aldi. Others are available but Aldi was cheaper - sadly they no longer seem to do that cream. The same dermatologist also told me that if the skin was unbroken, weeing on my hands was something to try. I believe its the uric acid that is the active component and fresh urine is sterile. It seemed pretty ick so I didn't go that way until a month ago. When I did, it worked like a charm or appeared to. The skin improved within the first hour. I have only done it the once so it maybe that it had come to the end of its cycle and was about to recover anyway. But next break out I plan to try this again.
