Dyshidrotic eczema, a common skin condition in spring, causes small,
itchy blisters on the hands and feet. While incurable, it is manageable
with proper care. Eczema affects around 35 million people in the U.S.,
with 70% of cases in children under five. Triggers include allergies and
genetics, but it is not contagious. Symptoms of dyshidrotic eczema include
deep-set blisters, itching, redness, flaking, and cracked skin. People with
contact dermatitis or hay fever are at higher risk, and infections can slow
healing. Treatments range from corticosteroid creams, antihistamines, and UV
therapy to natural remedies like cold compresses, aloe vera, and oatmeal.
Keeping skin clean and moisturized is key to managing this condition….
