maybe it's something else. My ex-wife used to get something like that on the palms of her hands and she was told it was likely caused by stress/anxiety.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this! I hope you can figure this out. I bet somebody here at DU can help. Good luck, Grasswire2.

I'll check this thread again tomorrow or over the weekend because I'm very curious to know too.
