small clear dots on the palms of my hands

[Willy1988]

Recently I noticed that my hands have these small white dots all over them. They kind of look like someone poked me with a pencil over and over..

They are generally worse when i get out of water because the skin raises a little and gets irritated.
I was just curious if anyone had any insight as to what this could possibly be?

Hi,
Exfoliative keratolysis is a common skin condition in which there is focal peeling of the palms and less often the soles.
The first sign is one or more superficial air-filled blisters on the fingers or palms, which is probably what you have described.
The symptoms are aggravated by exposure to irritants including water, soap, detergents and solvents. Eventually normal skin forms, but frequently exfoliative keratolysis recurs within a few weeks.
Protection from irritants and emollient hand creams( which traps the moisture in the skin) especially those containing urea, lactic acid, or silicone will be helpful.
