3. Sensitive Skin
People that are of Celtic or Scandinavian origin may find that they are at higher risk of developing dyshidrotic eczema. People from these regions of the globe typically have pale skin that burns quickly in the sun, and also has less tolerance to irritants.
As a result, these individuals may find that they develop outbreaks of the skin disorder more frequently, with symptoms being more aggressive and hanging around for far longer than others affected by the skin disorder.
People with sensitive skin that experience frequent outbreaks of dyshidrotic eczema should visit their doctor for an allergen test and hormone profile. These tests check for existing allergies, such as cobalt and nickel, while looking at the patient’s hormone profile for any imbalances in cortisol levels.
If you have sensitive skin and experience the onset of dyshidrotic blisters, then you might find that your symptoms are more severe than others, and your doctor may prescribe corticosteroid creams to manage the symptoms of itching and inflammation.
