Pompholyx

Pompholyx, also known as dyshidrosis or dyshidrotic eczema, is a form of eczema that produces small fluid-filled blisters on the hands and feet.

Common symptoms: It usually presents with vesicles on the palms, fingers or soles, accompanied by itching and, at times, scaling or cracks when the blisters dry.

Contributing factors: Stress, contact with irritants or metals, excessive sweating or certain allergies can trigger or worsen the episodes, which tend to recur.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the professional who identifies this type of eczema and guides skin care to reduce discomfort. If the blisters reappear frequently or cause significant bother on the hands or feet, the recommended thing is a specialized evaluation.
