My hands are rough. On my palms and finger tips, for maybe the past week or two, my hands have been covered with tiny white blisters. The blisters peel almost instantaneously, leaving little broken white pieces of skin attached to my fingertips and the heel of my hand.

This also leaves my fingertips red and raw-looking. Today is the first day it's started to hurt, just a teeny bit.

Before any blisters appeared, my palms showed little red dots underneath the skin, as though they pushed through the skin to form the blisters.

Dr. Google suggests it is a form of eczema that comes and goes. Dr. Google tells me it is stress related.

I'll buy that for a dollar.
