8Possible Triggers of Dyshidrotic Eczema
Certain factors may worsen an existing rash or lead to dyshidrotic dermatitis. These include:
– Extended damp feet or hands: If your work involves working with water or damp areas, such as medical staff or hair stylists, it may increase the risk of dyshidrotic eczema. The risk is also hight when you wear wet or damp socks for a long period.
– Exposure to metal, particularly nickel: Metal objects, such as belt buckles, coins, jewelry, or zippers, may trigger the symptoms.
– Weather conditions: Humidity changes or temperature extremes would cause a flare-up of dyshidrotic eczema.
– Excessive sweating
– Emotional stress [3]
