Dyshidrotic Eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema, also known as pompholyx, is a type of eczema characterized by small, fluid-filled blisters that commonly develop on the palms of the hands, sides of the fingers, or soles of the feet. These blisters can be intensely itchy and may become painful as they dry, crack, or peel.

Symptoms may appear in cycles, with flare ups lasting several weeks. Common triggers can include stress, sweating, frequent moisture exposure, certain metals such as nickel, and underlying skin sensitivity. Identifying potential triggers and developing a long-term treatment plan can help reduce recurring flares.
