Symptoms of Dyshidrotic Eczema
Dyshidrosis, otherwise known as dyshidrotic eczema, is an extremely itchy skin condition characterized by clusters of water-filled blisters. This type of eczema typically appears on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet and can last for weeks.1Calle Sarmiento, Paola Michelle, and Juan Jose Chango Azanza. ‘Dyshidrotic Eczema: A Common Cause of Palmar Dermatitis.’ Cureus, Cureus, 7 Oct. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7647841/
The skin can become slightly red and inflamed before the blisters appear. The eruption of blisters normally starts in one small patch around the nail bed or on the side of the hand and foot before spreading. It's not uncommon to experience sweaty skin around the site of the blisters.
