Difficulties: Secondary bacterial infections (e.g., staphylococci), lichenification of the skin (thickening of the epidermis with long-term inflammation).

6. Differentiation
Dyshydrotic eczema must be differentiated from:

Fungal infection of the skin (requires antifungal treatment),

Pustular psoriasis of the hands and feet,

Contact dermatitis.

7. Recommendations for Patients
Keep a relapse diary (record the factors that precede exacerbations),

Avoid stress (relaxation techniques can reduce the frequency of episodes),

Wear protective gloves when doing housework.

Important! If the lesions are extensive, fester, or accompanied by fever, consult a dermatologist immediately.
