r/Dyshidrosis

I've had something like this between my fingers on and off for years, but it's always been written off as dry skin...

But this is way more than dry skin.

Anyway, I guess it's probably time for a dermatology consultation!

This happens in between my fingers mostly. I thought they were warts. Now its spreading to my palms. It happens when I get a skin break or stop taking claritin and pepcid. Do you guys thinks its the d word?

What is it, and why have I had it continuously for 4 years? I peeled the first layer of skin after trying to get rid of it with acid.

Doctor took a biopsy a couple years ago and told me it's "spongiotic dermatitis", I'm not sure if that's the same thing as Dyshidrosis but I found this sub and my hands be looking a lot like what y'all got goin on here. I have tiny little circles full of serous fluid that leak and refill when I scratch them all over my hands constantly

Rash starts like tiny blisters on the palm of both hands. But it’s only on the left hand where there’s rash also between fingers. He used cetaphil eczema relief cream, helped a little. Now we are trying lomotril untifungal cream between finger. But does this look like DE? It’s not painful and not itching. Just a dry hands feeling. Thank u

i don’t even touch anything other than my mouse wheel and even if Logitech was at fault it doesn’t explain why my left 🖕is affected too. as a teen this stuff used to appear on all my fingers and i could even pop some under my nails, now it’s mild and isolated to just the two middle fingers.
they don’t react to mometasone

has anyone else had it appear symmetrically like this and what was the cause?

It's not clear at all, so there's a filter since it makes the bumps more red and visible, but whenever I knock them into something or scrape them they hurt bad. I've had these every summer but I thought it was dyshidrosis, but after looking at this sub I'm thinking it might be a sun allergy? The ones on my knuckles are red but the ones on the sides of my fingers are my skin colour.

I get these flare ups where my skin starts to peel away and it feels like the skin is harder in that area too. My pinky always seems to be the worst but now my other fingers are starting to flare up some and are really dry around the cuticles even though I keep them moisturized. I use fragrance free moisturizers by Cerave and La roche posay. Im trying so hard to prevent them from getting as bad as the pinky finger because its so sore and looks gross. The only thing that makes me question DE is that I dont get any bumps or itching, which I thought were main symptoms. I did see a dermatologist a few months ago (who I didnt really care for). She looked at my finger from across the room and said its DE and then prescribed me clobetasol 0.05% which hasnt helped. I have also tried Triamcinalone ointment prescribed by my primary doctor which helped during my last flare but isnt helping much this time. I scheduled with another derm who is highly rated that I saw in the past for other issues and will be seeing her in 2 weeks. Im thinking ill need patch testing to find out whats triggering it since I cant seem to figure it out. All I know is whatever this is sucks and I want my normal healthy skin back. 😢

Been dealing with dishydrotic eczema on my right hand for about a year. I’ve noticed lately that there’s no cuticle on my right pinky finger and my skin is kind of swollen around the base of the nail, and the skin seems to be receding. I do scratch/pick at my fingers a lot. Could this be a result of the eczema and my messing with it, or is it something else?

I only added the L-histidine in yesterday but my hands feel less itchy and irritated, feeling very hopeful😅

I started seeing some dots on my index finger more than 6 months ago but I just forgot about it. Today I woke up and it was like in the pictures. It’s all over my index finger, no other finger has it. It doesn’t itch or hurt, just a feeling of tightness.

Swipe for before and after photos... I truly can't believe after 15 years of feeling crippled by DE, I have finally healed my hands! A redditor in this group (highstakeshealth) commented on a post of mine mid April, saying she was sure I had a systemic nickel allergy. I was cautiously optimistic, and quietly doubted my luck in finding my trigger. But the results are in and my hands are like new! I still have the very last of the cracks closing on 2 fingertips, but I feel like a completely new person! I've since learnt that Dyshidrotic excema is one of the common signs of having a systemic nickel allergy. Its worth looking into. Nickel is in so many of the foods we eat, and I've found it hard adjusting to what I can and can't eat, but I am so relieved to have hopefully put this painful 15 year chapter behind me! I urge everyone to look into it for yourself.

Earlier it was on index finger now it's also in ring finger is it spreading?
