Dyshidrosis: Contact dermatitis may occur anywhere in the bodt . Dyshiderosis is usually limited to the hands or feet. The rash is initially blistery whereas contact dermatitis may be red , scaly and itchy.

Skin: Hard to diagnose with words and not pictures. Even with pictures many things look similar. Contact dermatitis will get better with removing the offending agent and topical creams such as cortisone. Dyshidrosis may continue with those treatments. See a dermatologist if alreading being treated by a primary care doctor and not getting results. If you have not seen your pmd or followed up do first.

Trying to diagnose : Yourself based on articles you read on line can sometimes lead you to incorrect conclusions. The best way to find out what is causing your skin problems is to see your dermatologist for a formal one to one evaluation. Take care.
