Dyshidrotic eczema is a form of eczema often seen on the hands and feet where tiny blisters of serum form just below the skin's surface. Deep, painful cracks in the skin and superficial scaling tend to accompany this condition. Dyshidrotic eczema is a recurrent or chronic relapsing form of vesicular palmoplantar dermatitis of unknown etiology. Dyshidrotic eczema also is termed pompholyx.
This form of eczema is not contagious but should be treated with care. The blisters can be rooted deep in the skin. If the blisters are scratched a secondary infection can occur. Scratching can also cause the skin to thicken. In severe cases the skin will turn red and the blisters may crust over. Some pain can be expected in severe outbreaks. Deep painful cracks can occur in the skin in chronic cases. Scaling, redness, and pain are also common.Natural Treatment for Dyshidrotic Eczema
Although there are various methods and treatment available for Dyshidrotic Eczema it can also be cured using home made and natural remedies. So, now let us discuss some natural ways to treat Dyshidrotic Eczema.
Breaking at early stages
Dyshidrosis can be treated locally by breaking early on the tiny vesicles with a small needle and disinfecting the scratch. It will reverse the eczemic inflammation and begin a scarring process, which stops the vesicle formation and the drying of the skin around the broken vesicle, and temporarily prevents the formation of new vesicles to the same area of the skin. When kept clean properly, the broken vesicles will first turn into scars, after which using dexpanthenol ointment heals the cracked and dry area of old vesicles.

Wearing gloves
