Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that can also start out as tiny blisters on the foot. Much like dyshidrotic eczema, it's extremely itchy. However, an athlete's foot is different because it normally begins between the toes.
Vesicular hand and foot eczema looks similar to dyshidrotic eczema and can be mistaken for the condition. Vesicular is slightly different in that the blisters pop and peel off, revealing red skin beneath. This commonly mistaken skin condition is generally caused by excess sweating.3‘Vesicular Hand Dermatitis.’ DermNet NZ, dermnetnz.org/topics/vesicular-hand-dermatitis/
