Pompholyx Eczema: An Overview • Pompholyx eczema, also known as dyshidrotic eczema, is a type of eczema that affects the hands or feet. It is characterized by small, deep-seated, 1–2 mm fluid-filled vesicles on these sites, which resolve after several weeks with scaling. The term “pompholyx” comes from the Greek word for bubble3. • Symptoms • The first symptom of pompholyx eczema is often a burning or prickling feeling in the affected area. Fluid-filled blisters then appear on the skin. These are usually very itchy and may leak fluid. When the blisters go away, the skin may be dry, cracked, and sore. Sometimes it might bleed. Pompholyx most often affects the fingers and palms. It can also affect the toes and soles of the feet. • Causes • The exact cause of pompholyx eczema is not known. However, there are some factors associated with the disorder, including: • Atopy • Contact dermatitis • Fungal infection • Photoinduction • Immunoglobulin therapy • Hyperhidrosis • • Treatment • Pompholyx eczema is usually a long-term condition that comes and goes over time. Treatment can help control the symptoms. The main treatments for pompholyx are: • Moisturisers (emollients) – used every day to stop the skin becoming dry. • Steroid creams and ointments (topical steroids) – used for a few weeks at a time to reduce irritation and soreness. • If the blisters leak fluid, a GP may suggest soaking your skin in potassium permanganate solution. This helps dry the blisters and reduces the risk of them getting infected. If the blisters become infected, a GP may prescribe antibiotics. • Prevention • There are some things you can try to ease symptoms of pompholyx: • Wash your hands with warm (not hot or cold) water and use a moisturiser (emollient) soap substitute instead of regular soap. • Wear protective gloves (ideally with a cotton lining) when using chemicals like shampoos, cleansers, and detergents. • Wear socks, tights, or stockings made from cotton or silk, rather than nylon. • Wear shoes made from leather, rather than plastic or rubber. • Avoid anything you think causes your symptoms, such as cleansers or detergents. • • Conclusion • Pompholyx eczema is a chronic, recurrent condition that can cause discomfort and distress. However, with the right treatment and preventative measures, the symptoms can be managed effectively • #blisters #itchyblisters #pompholyzeczema #shorts
