Hi Jim,

Dyshidrosis or Dyshidrotic Dermatitis, is a skin condition that is characterized by small blisters on the hands or feet. It is an acute, chronic, or recurrent dermatosis of the fingers, palms, and soles, characterized by a sudden onset of many deep-seated pruritic, clear vesicles. Scaling, fissures and lichenification occur later. Recurrence is common and for many can be chronic

Avoidance of known triggers, zinc oxide ointment, nickel-free diets, stress management counseling,light treatment, salt soaks and topical steroids. Different people respond to different treatments. However, if it still persists, it would be best to have it evaluated further by your dermatologist fo proper management.

Take care and keep us posted.
