Understanding and Managing Those Painful Red Bumps

Dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) causes small, itchy, fluid-filled blisters on the hands and feet. Triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, or an overactive immune system, it primarily affects adults aged 20 to 40, with women being more prone. Symptoms include intense itching, burning, and, in severe cases, thickened skin.
