Signs and Symptoms
The most common location of dyshidrotic eczema is on the hands and less commonly the feet.
  • Small, tense, clear fluid-filled blisters are seen on the surfaces of palms and soles and 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 cases, individual blisters can merge together and present as large blisters (bullae).
  • Redness (erythema) is typically mild or absent.
