Eccema dishidrótico - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Dishidrosis; Ponfólix (ponfólice)

Síntomas:

Pequeñas ampollas llenas de líquido llamadas vesículas aparecen en los dedos de las manos, las manos y los pies. Son más comunes a lo largo de los bordes de las palmas y dedos de las manos, plantas y dedos de los pies. Estas ampollas pueden causar picazón intensa y parches de piel descamativos que descascaran constantemente o se tornan rojos, agrietados y dolorosos.

El rascado lleva a cambios y engrosamiento de la piel. Las ampollas grandes pueden causar dolor.

Signos y exámenes:

El médico puede diagnosticar esta afección simplemente examinando la piel.

Algunas veces, se puede requerir una biopsia o un raspado de piel para descartar otras causas, como una infección por hongos.

Si el médico piensa que la afección puede deberse a una reacción alérgica, se pueden hacer pruebas para alergias (prueba del parche).
