What is dyshidrosis?

Dyshidrotic eczema, or dyshidrosis is one of the most common forms of eczema. It affects only the hands in 80% of cases, or else the hands and feet. Burning and itching sensations can be felt, with vesicles shaped like blisters filled with fluid. The rupture of these vesicles when scratching causes the appearance of crusts and scales.

What are the symptoms of dyshidrosis?

Dyshidrosis is characterized by the apparition on the skin of vesicles filled with serum. These vesicles can be more or less deep, and lead to itching, pain, or be asymptomatic.

Where does dyshidrosis come from?

Dyshidrosis can have a variety of different causes: mycosis, excessive sweating, atopic skin… It can also be of allergic origin: allergy to Nickel/Chromium/Cobalt, gloves, shoes, professional chemicals, or cosmetics. A patch test should then be considered to determine its origin.

How can you fight dyshidrosis?

If cortisone-based creams are often prescribed by doctors, they can have side effects in the medium/long term. Also, emollient and moisturizing creams can be excellent substitutes. Applying a protective cream that helps the skin to act as a barrier can complete this routine. Finally, the skin should be regularly cleaned with soft products, especially in case of strong perspiration.

How can dyshidrosis be relieved?
