Everyone eagerly anticipates spending time outside and taking advantage of the beautiful weather as summer draws near. But the season can be difficult for people with eczema, especially dyshidrotic eczema.

Little, itchy blisters on the tips of fingers, toes, palms, and soles are a common springtime flare-up for this kind of eczema.

Eczema cannot be healed, but it can be controlled, so you can enjoy the sun without worrying all the time.

Dermatitis, another name for eczema, is a disorder that results in skin irritation. About 35 million Americans suffer from it, making it a problem for millions of people in the country.

Although it usually first appears in children under five, eczema can persist until adulthood. A flare-up is characterized by swollen, red, and itchy skin along with fluid-filled pimples that may ooze and crust over.

Eczema is not communicable, however it can run in families. It is frequently brought on by an allergic reaction.
