Dyshidrosis is a skin condition that causes small, fluid-filled blisters to form on the palms of the hands and on the sides of the fingers. Sometimes the soles of the feet are also affected. - The blisters that appear in dyshidrosis usually last about three weeks and are very itchy. After the dyshidrosis blisters are dry, your skin may appear flaky. The blisters usually reappear, sometimes before your skin has completely healed from the previous blisters.

symptom
The blisters associated with dyshidrosis most often appear on the sides of the fingers and palms. Sometimes the soles of the feet can also be affected. The bubbles are usually small – about the width of a standard pencil lead – and grouped into clusters with a tapioca-like appearance.
In more severe cases, the small bubbles can merge into larger bubbles. Skin affected by dyshidrosis can be painful and very itchy. Once the blisters are dry and peeling, which happens after about three weeks, the skin underneath may be red and tender.
Dyshidrosis usually occurs regularly over months or years.
The reasons
The exact cause of dyshidrosis is not known. It can be linked to a similar skin condition called atopic dermatitis (eczema), as well as allergic conditions such as hay fever. The rashes can be seasonal in people with nasal allergies.
Risk factors
Risk factors for dyshidrosis are:
Stress. Dyshidrosis seems to be more common during times of emotional or physical stress.
Exposure to certain metals. This includes cobalt and nickel – usually in an industrial setting.
Sensitive skin. People who develop a rash after exposure to certain irritants are more likely to have dyshidrosis.
Atopic dermatitis. Some people with atopic dermatitis can develop dyshidrotic eczema.
prevention
Since the cause of dyshidrosis is usually unknown, there is no proven way to prevent the disease. You can prevent disease by managing stress and avoiding exposure to metal salts like cobalt and nickel. Dyshidrosis Treatment in Nizamabad
