Diane:
I am not aware of organizations for dyshidrotic eczema. That condition is usually mild and not disabling. Many patient with psoriasis, however, have hand involvement which in many ways is oike very severe dyshidrossis. You might therefore want to hook up with the Nastional Psoriasis Foundation, a very active patient support group.
Good luck.
