I am worried about my hands and palms. I feel this itchy sensation and I am afraid that I got something really serious. Someone told me that I might have symptoms of dyshidrosis. Can I get more information about this disease?

If you only have itchy sensation it doesn't mean that you have dyshidrosis. However, if you are too worried, I advise you to go to your dermatologist to check that out. Meanwhile, I will explain what dyshidrosis all about is. Dyshidrosis is a condition of deep, tiny, inflamed blisters that may crack and peel and they usually appear on the palms, soles of the feet, and the sides of fingers. Dyshidrosis involves excessive sweat production on the palms and soles. Either hands or feet are affected at once. This condition is usually seen in young adults. The palms are usually red and obviously more moist than normal. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is believed that it is inherited. Stress can cause dyshidrosis, because it is more common among anxious people. Dyshidrosis is treated with strong cortisone-type creams but severe cases require oral medicine for brief periods of time.
