As summer approaches, you’ll no doubt want to spend more time outside enjoying the sunshine.

However, if you’re constantly thinking about your eczema flare-ups, it can be hard to enjoy time outside. If you develop small, itchy blisters on your body, you may have dyshidrotic eczema, a common type of eczema that is especially common in the spring.

Although there is currently no cure for eczema, it can be controlled and the first step to feeling better is educating yourself about your condition and taking proactive measures to correct it.

Eczema: What is it?

The term “eczema” refers to a group of diseases that cause skin irritation. Another common name is dermatitis.

An estimated 35 million Americans suffer from eczema on their hands and other body parts, making it an ongoing problem for many. Children under five make up 70% of these cases. An eczema flare-up is characterized by swollen, red, itchy skin with fluid-filled pimples that occasionally ooze and crust over. Eczema is not contagious and is often caused by an allergic reaction. Although it cannot be cured, it can run in families. However, flare-ups can be effectively controlled with therapy [1].
