How to Manage Dyshidrotic Eczema
For some people with dyshidrotic eczema, it's a lifelong condition with periods of flare-ups. Determining how and when these outbreaks occur and identifying triggers is key to managing eczema. A long-term skincare program that uses fragrance-free moisturizers may help curb outbreaks.
If an eruption of blisters occurs, don't scratch. This could worsen and prolong the condition. A dermatologist might prescribe steroid creams as a short-term solution and antihistamine drugs. For more aggressive cases, phototherapy might be an option.2‘Dyshidrosis: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17728-dyshidrosis
