If you get these painful red bumps, you may have dyshidrotic eczema
Also known as dermatitis, eczema refers to a group of diseases that cause skin inflammation. In the US alone, it’s reported that eczema affects an estimated 31.6 million people – roughly around 10% of the population.
A common – and extremely bothersome – form of eczema is the one we mentioned above: dyshidrotic eczema. As per the Cleveland Clinic, it causes tiny, itchy blisters appear on your hands and feet. They can crack and peel as they heal, eventually resolving with scaling after a few weeks.
Triggers may include allergies, stress and frequently moist or sweaty hands and feet.
Common symptoms of dyshidrotic eczema include deep-set blisters on the hands and feet, itching, redness, flaking, scaly, cracked skin, and pain. If you suspect you may have the condition, you should ensure you’re properly diagnosed by a medical professional before starting treatment.
