Many people excited about outdoor activities
when summer arrives, but individuals with eczema—
especially dyshidrotic eczema—may have difficulty.
Usually flaring up in spring owing to allergies,
this ailment creates tiny, irritating
blisters on the fingers, toes, palms, and soles.
About 35 million Americans suffer with eczema,
sometimes known as dermatitis;
usually beginning in childhood but sometimes
lasting into adulthood.
Red, puffy skin and fluid-filled pimples
that can crust and leak abound among the symptoms.
Although not contagious, eczema can
be inherited and usually started by allergies.
