My son woke up this morning with three blisters on his fingers. One had burst and now it's an open sore. This has happend once before when he was just learning to crawl/scoot and we assumed it was because he was dragging his arm along. He's two now and I don't know how he got the blisters. He isn't bothered by them because he can't feel pain on his fingers but it looks pretty narley. Has anybody else had this problem? any suggestions as to what it might be? I really don't think that he touched anything hot.

it could be eczema
this is how Maia's eczema show's up on Maia's fingers

Could be dishyrosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis). It is a type of eczema that develops blisters.

Or perhaps just a coincidence if he is allergic to something that he might have touched

jojo gets these all the time. his affected hand sweats profusely and this is also how his excema shows on his hand. we use neosporin for open and have a running script for hydrocortisone.

we use hylands SILICEA (cell salt)
it helps with the eczema and protects nerves, etc.
it melts under your tongue

BIGJAVSMA: be VERY careful with hydrocortisone - honestly, I would stay away from any kinds of steroids. Even topicals get absorbed. My mother just passed away from sepsis that could not be contained because of the thinning and splitting of her skin everywhere from steroids. I would also stay away from Elidel. The cell salts are just pure minerals.
