Dyshidrosis is not a fungal infection, but a skin condition characterized by small, itchy blisters on the hands and feet. These blisters usually appear on the sides of the fingers or on the palms and soles of the feet. The exact cause of dyshidrosis is not yet fully understood, but it is believed that it can be triggered by various factors such as stress, allergies, humidity, or temperature changes. Unlike fungal infections, which are caused by specific microorganisms, dyshidrosis is a form of eczema. It is important to distinguish the symptoms of dyshidrosis from other skin conditions, such as fungal infections, because treatment is different. While fungal infections are often treated with antifungal drugs, therapy for dyshidrosis focuses on relieving symptoms, for example by applying moisturizing creams or cortisone-containing ointments. If you notice signs of dyshidrosis, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options.
