Many people get excited about outdoor activities when summer arrives, but individuals with eczema—especially dyshidrotic eczema—may face difficulties. This condition often flares up in spring due to allergies, causing tiny, irritating blisters on the fingers, toes, palms, and soles. About 35 million Americans suffer from eczema, also known as dermatitis; it typically begins in childhood but can persist into adulthood. Symptoms include red, puffy skin and fluid-filled blisters that can crust and leak. Although eczema is not contagious, it can be inherited and is often triggered by allergies.Eczema
