Causes: No one is exactly sure as to why Dyshidrotic Eczema occurs in the first place. Sweating has been known to increase the chances of coming down with this particular type of Eczema, but it is tough to control your sweating patterns. Stress has also been linked as a possible cause. Stress is horrible for your body in every single way. It increases your chances of suffering a heart attack, lowers your expected lifespan, increases the chances that you will have an acne breakout… Life is to short to be so wound up. Allergies have also been linked to Dyshidrotic Eczema. If you are drinking or eating something new, try cutting it out of your diet. You are what you eat, that goes for how you look and how you feel.
Other facts: Eczema is about as contagious as acne, which means it is not contagious at all. Dyshidrotic Eczema is very unsightly, which might affect you in social situations, but anyone who thinks that they will contract Dyshidrotic Eczema from someone else has no clue!
