Dyshidrotic Eczema Treatment Tips

If you are looking for the best Dyshidrotic eczema treatments then you are in the right place. This type of eczema appears more on your hands and feet in the form of small, itchy blisters. It is also known as Vesicular eczema. 50% of the sufferers possess atopic dermatitis. Women are major victims of this type of skin infection. It can affect to any person from the age of 5 to 75 years.

The blisters on the skin of the sufferer can remain up to 4-5 weeks and can cause severe skin itching. Skin cracks and grooves starts to appear when blisters go away. The toes, fingers, palms and soles are the most affected skin areas from this disease.

Don't scratch your skin if you are suffering from this infection as it can cause major skin thickening. You can suffer finger and toes cracks. The main reasons of this infection can be the emotional stress and pollution. Some people are more skin sensitive towards slight changes in the temperature and humidity. The excessive exposure to the sun can also cause skin blisters to get badly affected. Abnormal sweating is another major reason behind Dyshidrotic eczema.

There are some traditional and over the counter treatments which can provide temporary relief for your skin infection. Corticosteroid creams and ointments are popular to treat this type of infection. Oral antihistamines can also reduce your skin itchiness. If your infection is severe then doctor can prescribe you some antibiotics.

Some topical steroids are effective to heal eczema skin blisters. The skin itching and swelling can be controlled by these steroids. I have heard that PUVA therapy (some kind of ultraviolet therapy) can also provide enough relief for your skin. You can use unbleached cotton gloves to cover your hands. This will stop you from unnecessary skin scratching and avoid the further skin infection to spread.

These are the few traditional treatments which can provide you temporary relief. But the problem is they can not cure the root cause of your infection. To cure Dyshidrotic eczema from the root level, you need to implement the most effective natural home remedies. These treatments are easy to implement and do not cause any side effects for your skin.
