Signs and Symptoms
The most common location of dyshidrotic eczema is on the hands, and it is less commonly seen on the feet.

Small, tense, clear, fluid-filled blisters appear on the surfaces of both palms and both soles (bilateral surfaces) and on the sides of the fingers and toes. These blisters can appear "deep-seated" (tapioca-like) due to the thickness of the skin on the palms. In severe episodes, lesions can joint together (become confluent) and look like large blisters. If redness is present, it is mild.
