Recurrent blistering of the fingers as a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome: a first report from Japan

Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve. Dermatological signs associated with carpal tunnel syndrome are rare, and to date, ulceration, blistering, hypohidrosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, and irritant contact dermatitis have been reported.
