Have you noticed painful or itchy blisters on your hands and feet? These symptoms may indicate a chronic form of eczema that requires immediate medical treatment.
What is dyshidrotic eczema?
Dyshidrotic eczema, also known as dysshidros, is a special form of chronic dermatitis. This skin condition is mainly expressed by:
Deep bells, often filled with clear liquid.
Strong itching that can become unbearable.
A typical localization of the hands and soles of the feet, which makes everyday movements unpleasant.
Although these symptoms are not contagious, they can be aggravated by factors such as stress, allergies or prolonged exposure to irritants.
Why do you immediately see a doctor?
Dyshidrotic eczema can lead to complications if not treated properly. Risks include:
Secondary infections: Open or scratched blisters can become infected, causing redness, pain and discharge.
Chronic lesions: Lack of treatment can lead to thickening of the skin and persistent irritation.
Effects on quality of life: Chronic itching, cosmetic complaints and pain can affect daily life.
