Dyshidrotic eczema, a common condition in the spring, causes small, itchy blisters on
the hands and feet. While it’s not curable, it can be managed. The condition is part of eczema,
affecting around 35 million people in the U.S., especially children under five. Symptoms include
deep-set blisters, redness, itching, and scaling. It can be triggered by allergies or genetics
and isn’t contagious but can become infected. Treatment options include corticosteroid creams,
UV therapy, antihistamines, and immune-suppressing ointments. Natural remedies like cold
compresses, aloe vera, and oatmeal can also help soothe the skin.
Regular moisturizing can improve skin resilience and reduce flare-ups
