AB Dyshidrotic  eczema  (also  called  pompholyx  or  acute  vesiculobullous  hand  eczema)  is  the  abrupt  appearance  of  deep-seated,  1-  to  2-mm  vesicles  on  the  sides  of  the  fingers,  palms,  and  soles.  The  vesicles  are  extremely  pruritic,  may  coalesce  into  larger  bullae,  and  may  rupture  to  become  dry  or  fissured.  The  outbreak  usually  resolves  over  a  few  weeks  unless  secondary  infection  develops.  The  differential  includes  bullous  tinea,  id  reaction,  scabies  infestation,  or  allergic  contact  dermatitis.
