This is a just another odd condition that I thought I might as well "run up the flagpole," so to speak.
Dyshidrosis is a skin condition in which small, fluid-filled blisters appear on the hands and feet. If the blisters break, the skin can become crusty, cracked and inflamed. It heals slowly.
The exact cause is unknown. It was once thought to be related to excessive sweating, but that notion has been discounted.
I had this (mainly on my hands) for a few years, on and off, when I was a teenager. It cleared up on its own well before I developed CFS/ME symptoms. Still, it was odd enough that I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else was familiar with it. Thanks!
