How Is Dyshidrotic Eczema Diagnosed?
The diagnosis of dyshidrotic eczema is based on physical examination. Affected individuals should seek medical advice. A doctor will look for the telltale symptoms, such as blisters on extremities, thickened nails, extreme itchiness, swelling and pain.
Dermatologists analyze the rash, look at the nails and will ask the patient about other medical conditions. If the eczema is from an allergen, an allergy test might be recommended to determine the source.
