    The cause is hard work, to get rid of it puncture the blister with a sharp clean needle.

    Too much masturbating will do that to you. If you stop, they'll go away

    Its either contact dermatitis (something you touched) or eczema (dyshidrosis) (Sp.)?

    Symptoms
    In dyshidrosis, the affected skin becomes inflamed (dermatitis). As a result, the junctions between the skin cells open and allow fluid (serum) to fill the spaces. Doctors refer to this process as spongiosis because the skin becomes more sponge-like with these many fluid-filled spaces.

    Signs and symptoms of dyshidrosis include:

    Small, itchy bumps that gradually progress to a rash made up of fluid-filled blisters (vesicles)
    Intense itching
    Cracks or grooves (fissures) on your fingers or toes
    Pain, especially with large blisters
    The small, fluid-filled blisters (vesicles) most commonly occur on the palms and fingers of your hands. They may also occur on the soles and toes of your feet. The blisters usually last about three weeks.

    When to see a doctor
    Call your doctor if you have a rash on your hands or feet that doesn't go away on its own. Also contact your doctor if you've been diagnosed with dyshidrosis and have signs and symptoms of an infection, including fever, or pain or inflammation at the rash site.

    Causes
    The cause of dyshidrosis is unknown. However, it can be associated with a similar skin disorder called atopic dermatitis and allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever (allergic rhinitis). Eruptions may be seasonal in people with allergies.



    Go to the dermatologist if simple 1% Hydrocortozone cream doesn't clear it up and they will give you something more specific by prescription depending on what it is.

    They're called calluses, and you got them from friction on your palms from rigorous work with your hands, i.e. jerking off.

    You can't really get rid of them, you just have to let them heal.

    Have you done any labor-intensive work recently? Some allergies manifest with these bumps, so I'd suggest consulting a dermatologist.

    Ignore the idiots talking about masturbating. You have a simple work blister, (I don't know the real name, but that's what my family calls them.) You get them from working with your hands, usually from something pressing and rubbing your hands against something hard. They usually go away on their own. I get them all the time on my thumbs from sweeping my neighbors sidewalks. Some people can feel a little oddness in spots where, had they kept working like they had, a blister would have formed.
