dyshidrosis

It has been recommended for the treatment of dyshidrosis in some chronic cases.

However, others believe that, with conditions like dyshidrosis, the suspect substances must be applied to the affected area to induce a reaction.

There are many treatments available for dyshidrosis.

The most common are chickenpox, herpes, impetigo, and a form of eczema called dyshidrosis.

For this reason, among others, dyshidrosis is often dismissed as atopic eczema or contact dermatitis.

Causes of dyshidrosis are unknown.

There are many different factors that may trigger the outbreak of dyshidrosis such as allergens, physical and/or mental stress, or seasonal changes.

Bandages, plasters or other types of skin-tapes may be irritating to dyshidrosis and should be avoided.

Dyshidrotic eczema is also known as vesicular palmoplantar dermatitis, dyshidrosis or pompholyx.

However, many cases present that have no history of excessive sweating, and the hypothesis of dyshidrosis as a sweating disorder is largely rejected.

Dermatitis herpetiformis is often misdiagnosed, being confused with drug eruptions, contact dermatitis, dishydrotic eczema (dyshidrosis), and even scabies.

Topical steroids - while useful, can be dangerous long-term due to the skin-thinning side-effects, which are particularly troublesome in the context of hand dyshidrosis, due to the amount of toxins and bacteria the hands typically come in contact with.
