Yes, you're definitely not alone! Many MyLupusTeam members report experiencing small blisters as part of their lupus journey. Blisters can pop up in different ways and for different reasons with lupus.
One common culprit is a type of rash called dyshidrotic eczema, which can cause small blisters on the hands and feet. These blisters can be itchy, painful, and may peel or burn. Some members notice stress, sun exposure, or extreme fatigue triggers them.
Blisters can also appear as part of lupus flares more generally. As one MyLupusTeam member described, during a flare their skin would tingle until little blisters appeared across their back, legs, arms, lips, and chest.
Some common triggers to watch out for include:
- Sun exposure
- Stress
- Extreme fatigue
- Heat (like hot showers or baths)
- Contact allergies It's worth bringing this up with a dermatologist or your rheumatologist, especially if the blisters are spreading or worsening. Treatments like topical creams, oral steroids, or other medications have helped many members manage their skin symptoms. Finding the right combination can make a real difference!
