The disease is characterized by:

Symptoms: Groups of millet-sized blisters, usually symmetrically distributed; the blisters contain clear fluid and may cause slight itching or burning; the blisters dry up and begin to peel after 2-3 weeks, and you may feel slight pain at this time. It is worth noting that dyshidrotic eczema can recur, and sometimes new blisters will appear before the old ones have healed.

Seasonal characteristics: Dyshidrotic eczema usually begins in late spring and early summer. It is most severe in the hot summer . As the weather turns cooler, the symptoms will gradually ease.

Treating Herpes Properly

Many people believe that dyshidrotic eczema is caused by unclean skin or contact with certain substances, so they try to "wash it off" by washing their hands frequently , but this is actually a misunderstanding.

Excessive cleaning will not only fail to solve the problem, but may increase irritation and induce more serious conditions.

The correct approach should be:

1. Avoid popping blisters : Your hands or tools may not be clean. Popping blisters will increase the chance of infection and worsen the condition.

2. Reduce contact with irritating substances : avoid using irritating detergents, soaps, etc.

3. Drug treatment : compound calamine lotion can be used to relieve itching;

When shedding, you can use some topical hormone ointments under the guidance of a doctor to help recovery. At the same time, in order to keep the skin moisturized, it is recommended to apply some protective ointments such as vitamin E lotion;

If the symptoms are very serious, you should seek medical attention promptly and take oral medication as prescribed by your doctor.

How to prevent it?

Of course, the best way is prevention. Here are a few simple and practical tips to help you effectively prevent the occurrence of sweat herpes:

1. Develop good living habits : maintain an optimistic and stable mood and ensure adequate sleep time (6-8 hours a day).

2. Balanced diet : Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement adequate vitamins and trace elements. Eat a light diet and avoid too much greasy and spicy food to prevent damage to the spleen and stomach function and cause water and moisture metabolism disorders.

3. Sun protection : Especially in summer, avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight, and remember to take sun protection measures when going out.

4. Hand care : When seasons change, reduce the contact of hands with water and detergents , and use hand cream more often to keep them moisturized.
