A common skin condition that many people encounter in the spring is dyshidrotic eczema. Despite being an incurable condition, it is manageable and under control. The symptoms are little blisters that itch.

Eczema is the collective term for a group of conditions known as dermatitis that cause skin inflammation. There are only 35 million cases of eczema in the US, according to statistics. Approximately 70% of these events involve children under the age of five.

During a flare-up, the skin gets red, itchy, and swollen and pimples loaded with fluid may leak and harden. Although allergic reactions are the most common cause of eczema, hereditary factors may also be involved. Eczema is not contagious.
