Dyshidrotic eczema, known by various names such as pompholyx and vesicular palmoplantar eczema, causes painful blisters that can take weeks to heal. It primarily affects adults aged 20 to 40, especially women, and those with atopic dermatitis, hay fever, or contact dermatitis are at higher risk.
If an infection develops, medical assistance is crucial, as it can delay healing. While there’s no cure, dyshidrotic eczema can be managed with proper care.
