If you get these painful red bumps, you may have dyshidrotic eczema

January 3, 2026 by salah

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.

As per reports, people with contact dermatitis, atopic eczema, or hay fever have a higher risk of developing dyshidrotic eczema. The resulting sore patch of skin can have a tendency to become infected, thus delaying the healing process.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, healthcare providers aren’t currently sure what causes dyshidrotic eczema, and so there’s no surefire way of preventing flare-ups from taking place.
