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.
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.
