strongDyshidrosis Eczema What You Need To Knowstrong pDyhidrosis
eczema is a less common type of eczema affecting only 20 in every
100,000 Americans. Still, it manages to have the most unsightly
symptoms compared to the other types of eczema. Its symptoms are
very unpleasant such that the social interaction of people who have
it is tremendously affected, given that others perceive their
condition as contagious even if its not. If you have dyshidrosis
eczema or someone in your family has it, you need to understand
this condition in order to help yourself or those that you
know.ppWhat is dyshidrosis eczemappDyshidrosis eczema is a kind of
eczema where the uppermost layer of the skin is irritated. The term
dyhidrosis was derived from the word dyshidrotic which means bad
sweating. This is due to the fact that it was originally thought
that dyshidrosis eczema is caused by a lot of sweating. But,
excessive sweating as a cause was later discredited since many
people who had dyshidrosis eczema did not experience sweating
beyond the normal amount.ppDyshidrosis eczema is also labeled
dyshidrotic eczema which is usually misspelled as dyshydrotic
eczema, pompholyx, cheiropompholyx, podopompholyx, and acute
vesiculobullous hand eczema. The condition can either be acute,
chronic, or recurrent, and only affects the fingers, palms, and
soles of the feet. As it affects the hands and feet, the rashes
associated with it are very hard to hide from plain sight.ppWhat
are the symptoms of eczema dyshidroticppIn general, the rashes
associated with dyshidrosis eczema are clear vesicles that are
severely itchy. These rashes have a quick onset and can be
characterized as being acute if they last for a short period of
time, chronic if the rashes stay for more than weeks, and recurrent
if they continue to come back. These red itchy blisters are very
small and can be 3 millimeters or less in diameter. But, there are
some people who dont have itching blisters, some people who feel
pain as their symptom, and yet others who dont feel anything
whatsoever.ppThe blisters manifest in groups on the sides and tips
of fingers and toes, as well as on the palms and soles of the feet.
In the worst cases of dyshidrosis eczema, the group of small
blisters may come together and form larger blisters. If you look
closely at the blisters and touch them, you will find that they are
slightly elevated and do not break easily. When you scratch the
blisters though, they can break and ooze clear fluid that is
actually serum and not sweat as was initially thought. After the
blisters have broken and the serum has leaked out, the skin will
over the next few weeks or month crust and crack, leading to
peeling. The peeling hands and peeling feet are often accompanied
by pain, causing severe discomfort for the affected person.ppWhat
causes dyhidrosis eczemappThe exact cause of dyshidrosis eczema is
unknown but there are a number of factors linked to its
aggravation. What is established though is that science dismisses
the condition as a sweating disorder.pp Like many kinds of eczema,
eczema dyshidrotic is linked to stress. Although many patients deny
that stress is a possible factor to have caused their symptoms to
appear, stress has always been known to trigger vesicular
eruptions. Thus, doctors still believe that dyshidrosis eczema may
be linked to stress.pp Local infection of the hands or the feet are
believed to be another possible cause of the condition. An example
is fungal infections such Athletes foot.pp Prolonged exposure to
sunlight, water that has undergone several treatment processes,
chlorinated water, antibacterial soaps, strong fragrances, fresh
meat, and fruit juices have been reported to trigger outbreaks of
blisters in some patients.pp Foods with high nickel content such as
cocoa products, whole grains, and nuts lead to dyshidrosis eczema
in people who have nickel allergies.pp Allergies to soy, coffee,
teas, carbonated beverages, alcohol, latex and vinyl gloves, and
leather treated with preservatives are also linked to the
manifestaton of dyshidrotic blisters in some people.br p
