Foot Eczema

Foot eczema is a skin condition where blisters develop on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands and fingers. It appears as tiny bumps on the fingers and may cover large areas on the hand and feet. Sweat, stress, contact allergies, and foot mycosis are common triggering factors. It is managed by avoiding scratching and applying cold compresses. Lotions and creams help to keep the skin moist. Corticosteroid creams can help in reducing inflammation.
