Dyshidrosis eczema is a skin condition in which blisters form on the hands and feet, causing thick and painful areas, once the blisters open. While not infectious, dyshidrosis eczema can be embarrassing and uncomfortable for individuals suffering from the condition.

    What Causes Dyshidrosis Eczema?

  1. It is unknown what exactly causes dyshidrosis eczema, but it is thought that fungal infections, allergies, diet and stress can trigger the skin irritation.
  2. Hydrogen Peroxide

  3. Using a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide can heal persistent blisters; however, it is advisable to use it only once a week. Simply dab the peroxide with a cotton ball on the affected areas to alleviate the symptoms.
  4. White Vinegar Soak

  5. A white vinegar soak for the affected area can alleviate and treat the dyshidrosis eczema. The vinegar changes the pH balance of the skin, effectively stopping any fungal growth on the skin.
  6. Nickel

  7. Removing nickel from your diet can help prevent future outbreaks, as nickel is a known trigger for dyshidrosis eczema. Foods like chocolate, oatmeal, shellfish, almonds and canned vegetables are high in nickel.
  8. Oatmilk

  9. Using an oatmilk soak for the affected area will relieve the pain and sooth the itching associated with dyshidrotic eczema.
