If you see these painful red bumps, you may have dyshidrotic eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema, common in spring, is a manageable but incurable skin condition

characterized by small, itchy blisters. Eczema refers to a group of skin inflammation diseases,

affecting around 35 million Americans, with 70% being children under five. During flare-ups,

skin becomes red, itchy, swollen, and may develop fluid-filled bumps that ooze or crust.

Triggers include allergies or genetics, though eczema isn’t contagious. Dyshidrotic eczema,

also called pompholyx, is known by various names based on its location: cheiropompholyx

(hands), podopompholyx (feet), or cheiropodopompholyx (hands and feet)
