2. Blistering on the Feet
Patients who are suffering from an outbreak of dyshidrotic eczema may find that the condition starts of the feet instead of the hands, or it may occur in both places at once. Most patients who are suffering from dyshidrotic eczema, experience the outbreak on the top of their feet, making it challenging to wear shoes and socks.
As a result of the itching symptoms, patients may find that the blisters on their feet are far more challenging to manage. When the itching starts, the feet may swell, and the affected individual may have to resort to wearing sandals or no shoes until the rash begins to subside.
This effect makes the skin disorder a pain to deal with, especially for those individuals who work for companies that demand they wear footwear at all times. Also, walking around barefoot in the wintertime is not a possibility.
Outbreaks of dyshidrotic eczema may last for up to 3-weeks, and affected individuals cannot afford to take this much time off of work to manage their symptoms, posing a challenge for people who are dealing with the skin disorder.
