Dyshidrotic eczema is a recurrent skin reaction affecting the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and the sides of the fingers and toes. Other names for this type of eczema include vesicular eczema, hand and foot eczema, housewives eczema and pompholyx.

Cause of dyshidrotic eczema

It used to be thought that dyshidrotic eczema was the result of a malfunction of the sweat glands where sweat was trapped beneath thick skin resulting in painful blisters on the hands and feet. Healthcare professionals now believe that it is caused by an allergic response to something in the environment. The common allergens are believed to be nickel, balsam and cobalt. Nickel is found in costume jewelry while balsam and cobalt are used in manufacturing.

People who suffer from asthma, sinusitis, hay fever or anxiety, are more prone to develop this type of eczema. Certain skin infections or recent immunoglobulin therapy may also predispose you to the condition. A fungal infection elsewhere in the body may result in an outbreak of dyshidrotic eczema.

Dyshidrotic eczema is not pleasant, resulting in an unbearably itchy, deep seated, blistering rash on the palms of the hands, sides of fingers and soles of the feet; with localized swelling, excessive sweating and considerable discomfort. It can affect any age, but it is most common in men 20 – 50 years old and there appears to be a genetic component to the disorder.

Preventing dyshidrotic eczema

It usually heals completely with effective treatment. To help prevent flare ups or worsening of the condition there are some common things to avoid:

Strong detergentsDeodorant soapsSolventsProlonged contact with waterRubber and latex glovesScratchingStressful situations

Taking steps to prevent dyshidrotic eczema from developing is better than treating the condition once it has developed. This will include a good skin care regime where the hands and feet are kept clean using a mild soap that is rinsed off well. Also preventing the skin from becoming overly dry will help.

The following advice will also help in prevention.

Avoiding jewellery and other objects made of nickel.Always wearing heavy duty gloves when handling chemicals and avoiding unnecessary exposure to soapy water.Avoiding excessive sweating by wearing cotton socks and allowing the feet to air frequently will also help.

Given the lack of effective long-term treatment for eczema, it is helpful to know how to treat and prevent eczema yourself using natural remedies. A home treatment for eczema need not be a convoluted and complicated regime but rather a few steps that you can follow on a day to day basis to combat eczema. Following is a workable method to get you started.

As an eczema sufferer you probably already know that your eczema is due to allergies to certain substances that you come into contact with either by ingestion, inhalation or onto the surface of your skin. To give your skin a chance to heal and prevent future outbreaks of eczema, it is important to find out what is causing these allergies.

And yes, it is possible.

Many people these days are getting a skin prick test at their local doctors, where a small quantity of a potential allergy substance is placed just below the skin. It is not painful and the test is performed under controlled settings. There are many common irritants that are known to cause eczema that will be tested on the skin. Once the allergies have been determined, you can begin eliminating them from your daily life.

If it is not possible for you to have this test, there are ways of determining your allergies by yourself. All you need to do is keep a diary of the food you eat and substances you come in contact with every day such as ink, photocopier toner, dusty objects, foods and any other substance that comes into contact with the skin. You will then keep a log of when your skin becomes itchy and the eczema flares.

Before long you will notice a trend forming and you will be able to pinpoint what is causing the eczema. This process should take no more than around 4 weeks. Of course you can keep going with this method as part of your home treatment for eczema and always be extra vigilant of when you come into contact with something new.

Because eczema is largely caused by substances that we are allergic to, it is essential to know what they are in order to remove them from everyday life.

Making a conscious effort to start getting rid of the causes for your eczema will get you on your way to an eczema free life. The above method is one of many that will see you clearing your skin and preventing future outbreaks.

If you’ve found yourself here, then it is most likely that you or someone close to you suffers from eczema and you are acutely aware of effect of this distressing complaint, and you want to alleviate or cure this condition. If you are a parent you will also know the anguish of watching helplessly while your child or infant grapples with the intense itch and discomfort they simply cannot get away from without potentially harmful creams and medications.

Traditional drug treatments carry with them the risks of side effects and the body builds resistance to them meaning that over time their effectiveness is reduced. While treating eczema may seem like a no-win contest, research has shown some all-natural treatments have proven to be highly successful in overcoming eczema completely. Natural treatments are commonly referred to as alternate. Have you ever considered how absurd this is, ineffectively treating symptoms with potentially harmful drugs, or “Alternatively” curing it at its cause without further harm.

Eczema could well be described as “the itch that rashes”.

It’s not actually a rash on its own, but it’s the scratching that causes the rash. Eczema is a common skin disease with symptoms that can range from mild to chronic. Symptoms include dry patches of skin to really inflamed skin with an intense itch that makes you want to scratch the skin away. For severe eczema sufferers their skin has become so dry and sensitive that something as simple as drying off with a towel can cause bleeding, also making them more prone to bacterial and viral infections. The uncontrollable scratching rips off layers of skin leaving a scabbed and unsightly body, effecting self confidence and causing emotional distress as well as having to deal with physical effects. Imagine going through his as a teen.

Many medical practitioners will tell you that a child will simply grow out of it. Many Eczema sufferers will tell you they’ve had it all their lives. Why watch a child suffer and mask the symptoms waiting for them to “grow” out of when you can identify and treat the cause and give them life long relief for less than the cost of a visit to the doctors surgery. It’s a “no brainer” really, and the benefits could well cross a generation.

Finding what works best is worth the search. So many people give up the search and simply suffer the symptoms. All medicines have their place; most treatments available only suppress the symptoms and relieve in the short term but have side effects and reduced effectiveness over time. What will you do when the treatment simply doesn’t work?
