Many people excited about outdoor activities when summer arrives,
but individuals with eczema—especially dyshidrotic eczema—may have difficulty.
Usually flaring up in spring owing to allergies, this ailment creates tiny,
irritating blisters on the fingers, toes, palms, and soles.
About 35 million Americans suffer with eczema, sometimes known as dermatitis;
usually beginning in childhood but sometimes lasting into adulthood.
Red, puffy skin and fluid-filled pimples that can crust and leak abound
among the symptoms. Although not contagious, eczema can be inherited and usually started by allergies.
