Treating Dyshidrotic Eczema
by Louise Forrest
 
This type of eczema has many names. But regardless of the name that you eczema has been given you are now faced with the task of dealing with it.

This type of eczema is characterized by blisters that can occur on the hands and soles pf the feet. The blisters are clear but can lead to additional problems such as thickening of the skin and even the skin can crack. This type of eczema is considered to be much worse during the summer months.

Like any other type of eczema the cause is not fully understood, but genetics does appear to be a plausible reason for this happening.

There are also suggestions that sweating too much can cause this particular eczema to appear but again this is a suggestion only and there is no actual evidence to support this fully.


So how do you treat this particular eczema type?

There is no right or wrong answer to this nor is there a cure. Like any other type of eczema you need to examine your lifestyle and your eating habits and see if anything could be triggering your condition. When you have identified the triggers you can then take them out of the equation and hopefully your skin will be able to heal itself.

Here are some steps that you need to try and avoid
 
- getting your hands constantly wet as the skin starts to break down .
- do not rub dry your hands or feet. Always pat dry.
-
avoid waterless soaps and cleansers as these generally contain alcohol which dries out the skin.
-
wear gloves if you are having to cut any kind of foods such as onions or peppers.
-
if you wear a ring be sure to remove and clean it from time to time as the underneath can trap potential irritants to the skin.
 
Just taking a few simple steps you will be in a better position to avoid and also treat dyshidrotic eczema with hopefully a good level of success. There is a strong chance that you will be able to make it go away, but there is a chance that it will come back, because eczema is a chronic skin condition. So all you can do is take action that will tame it.
