Can you pop dyshidrotic eczema?

As someone who suffers from dyshidrotic eczema, you probably know that it can be a real pain in the neck. This condition manifests itself as small blisters on your fingers, palms, and soles of your feet. And even though popping those tiny bumps might be tempting, you have probably heard from various sources that this is not a good idea.

So what is the truth? Is popping dyshidrotic eczema really off-limits? Let’s explore!

What Is Dyshidrotic Eczema?

Before we dive into whether or not it’s safe to pop these pesky blisters, let’s talk about what they are. Dyshidrosis, also known as dyshidrotic eczema, is a type of skin inflammation that affects the hands and feet. The exact cause isn’t always clear but by some hypothesis, stress or allergies contribute.

Dyshidrosis causes small,recurring fluid-filled vesicles which progresses to scaling fissured plaques (due to either treatment or no treatment).

Of course,you may consult with physicians; however commonly If left untreated long enough It becomes very itching & incredibly painful leading to patients scratching aggressively causing all their initial lesions filled with serum transforming into open ones seeping blood making them more prone for further secondary infection like Staphylococcus aureus.

Should You Pop Your Dyshydrotic Blisters?

The short answer: Nope! Not even close

Although there are some people who will swear up and down that they get relief every time they pop one of these watery blisters – We advise against them being popped forcefully.

But why exactly should we avoid popping our dyshi hideous eruptions despite how satisfyingly-good it feels?

When you burst an eczematic vesicle, you’re essentially breaking the skin barrier and creating an open wound in its place. This makes it easier for germs to invade, thereby increasing your risk of infection.

How to Treat Dyshydrotic Eczema

Given that we should avoid popping our dyshi-dermal enemies, alright then what DO when they are transitioning into even more itchier & painful lesions? One must understand there is no effective cure or a specific treatment regimen dictated universally but consulting with a specialist is advised during the early stages to prevent any further progression:

However here’s what many dermatologists or doctors may recommend one:

Over-the-Counter Products

Products such as hydrocortisone cream can be applied which eases itching symptoms while simultaneously preventing stiffening & thickening.

Another method can involve introducing anti-fungal agents being prescribed by your doctor as these blisters also have late complications leading onychomycosis & psoriasis.

Moisturize your skin:

Incorporating adequate moisturizers enriched with emollient-like properties reduces scaling and peeling off from blistered areas

Be sure not use chemically aggressive ingredient containing products like fragrances , sulfates often found in oversized shampoo bottles!

Also acquiring massages get those blood vessels flowing optimally

Prescription Medications

Unfortunately, using prescription medication becomes necessary if condition drastically worsens where one may develop secondary infections

A variety medications that top the charts of doctors go-to lists involve immunosuppressive or anti-allergic agents

often preventing delayed episodes while reducing blister formation.

Injections

Dermatologists offer injections filled with steroids in affected lesions which relieves acute itching (Ofcourse always check related side-effects before deciding on this treatment)

Prevention is Key!
