Dyshydrosis

Dyshidrosis (cheiropompholyx, dyshidrotic eczema, pompholyx) is a skin condition that is characterized by vesicular eruption on the hands or feet.


Presentation
  • With regard to internal causes, 30 patients presented with a positive patch test result for metals, but only 2 presented with exacerbations of the lesions after a challenge test.[emedicine.medscape.com]
  • Of those, 80% presented with dermatophytosis and 20% presented with candidiasis. After 3 weeks of antifungal therapy, 6 of 19 patients remained symptomatic for pompholyx.[dermaamin.com]
  • If redness is present, it is mild. Self-Care Guidelines Help your child with the following: Avoid exposure to harsh or aggravating materials (irritants).[skinsight.com]
  • Organized alphabetically, the book presents brief, bulleted points on disease topics in a consistent 3-column format. All topics are evidence-based and include cited evidence-based references.[books.google.com]
  • The clinical presentation of vesicular hand/foot dermatitis is typical. If suspicious of a fungal infection ( tinea pedis ), skin scrapings should be taken for mycology. Patch testing is indicated in chronic or atypical cases.[dermnetnz.org]
Falling
  • My hair is falling out in chunks. Not sure if its lupus or plaquenil, but I am assuming it is the plaquenil since my disease is almost undetectable in my labs. Thanks, everyone. At my last appt, rheumy said my lupus appears to be quiet.[mylupusteam.com]
  • Some of the items that fall within the purview of such allergic irritants are cocoa, chocolate, soy, butter and cheese, etc.[primehealthchannel.com]
  • The issue began in late fall and remained until the end of winter, eventually going away on its own once spring arrived.[thefixitsite.wordpress.com]
  • […] intensely itchy small blisters on the sides of the fingers, the palms or the feet. [9] These blisters are often described as having a " tapioca pudding " appearance. [10] After a few weeks, the small blisters eventually disappear as the top layer of skin falls[en.wikipedia.org]
  • This is why it falls into the interest of podiatrists. It is quite possible to have a sub-clinical infection, called a 'colonization' by a fungus or yeast.[dyshidrosis.co.uk]
Cheilitis
  • Also in the treatment group, dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth, dry lips, and cheilitis were reported in 10% of patients, compared with 4% of patients in the placebo group. Lipid abnormalities were similar to those seen with other retinoids.[dermaamin.com]

Blister
  • Draining the blisters: Your dermatologist can drain fluid from the blisters. Don't try to do this yourself. You could make the eczema worse. To control the blisters at home: Wash your hands and feet every day.[webmd.com]
  • The skin surrounding the blisters will feel itchy and painful. After about three weeks, the blisters will dry up and flake off. The skin that appears under the blisters will be red and tender.[myadvancedderm.com]
  • The blisters that occur last approximately three weeks and cause intense itching. Once the blisters dry, cracks form in the skin which can be unsightly and very painful.[dyshidrosis.net]
  • Dyshidrotic eczema blisters are often painful and itchy. When they clear up, the blisters can become dry and flaky, revealing the tender skin underneath. This causes scaly patches on the skin, which then get red and crack.[firstderm.com]
  • The blisters are usually small — about the width of a standard pencil lead — and grouped in clusters, with an appearance similar to tapioca. In more-severe cases, the small blisters may merge to form larger blisters.[mayoclinic.org]

Workup
  • Further workup ruled out contact dermatitis, polymorphic light eruption, and heat as the culprit, confirming that the reaction was due to true photosensitivity rather than to photoaggravation. [14] Pompholyx caused by UVA exposure may possibly be considered[emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment
  • Management [ 9 ] The condition is self-limiting but, as it can be intensely itchy, symptomatic treatment may be in order. In practice, many patients require a combination of treatments [ 10 ].[patient.info]

  • Light treatments: This treatment exposes the skin with DE to ultraviolet (UV) light for a prescribed amount of time. Under a dermatologist’s care, light treatment can be a safe and effective treatment for DE.[aad.org]

  • Pathophysiology [ 1 ] The term dyshidrosis indicates a sweating abnormality but histology reveals no evidence of eccrine (sweat) gland involvement. Histologically, the vesicles are intra-epidermal with little or no inflammatory change.[patient.info]
  • Pathophysiology The hypothesis of sweat gland dysfunction has been disputed because vesicular lesions have not been shown to be associated with sweat ducts.[dermaamin.com]

Prevention
  • Prevention Because the cause of dyshidrosis is generally unknown, there's no proven way to prevent this condition. You may help prevent the condition by managing stress and avoiding exposure to metal salts, such as cobalt and nickel.[mayoclinic.org]
  • Controlling and Preventing Outbreaks While it may not be possible to prevent a skin condition such as eczema, proper skin care can make your skin stronger and minimize irritation to prevent it from flaring up or becoming worse.[t2conline.com]
  • Make sure to boil chlorine-treated water first before mixing it with salt to prevent irritating the blisters further.[doctordecides.com]
  • One may go for stress management counseling to prevent the supposed cause of most of the cases of dyshidrosis. In order to prevent further pompholyx complications, one must be under the supervision of dermatologists.[primehealthchannel.com]
