Pompholyx
Pompholyx (also called dyshidrotic eczema) is a type of eczema that affects the hands or feet. It’s usually a long-term condition, but treatment can help control the symptoms.
Pompholyx causes itchy blisters on the hands or feet that come and go. The symptoms usually last 2 to 3 weeks at a time.
The first symptom is often a burning or prickling feeling in the affected area. Some people have pompholyx eczema on their hands and/or feet with other types of eczema elsewhere on the body. This condition can occur at any age but is usually seen in adults under 40, and is more common in women.
Treatment
The patient is advised to wash the face with soap and shampoo the hair as frequently as possible and avoid greasy cosmetics and hair oils. Along with this proper homoeopathic treatment must be taken. Acne patients need not observe any dietary precautions because sebaceous gland is a secretary gland and blood levels of the lipids or their dietary intake has no effect on the secretion of the lipids by the sebaceous glands. The patient should be informed that the tendency to develop acne is likely to continue for a few years and thus it is preferable to have a preventive treatment and continue the same till the tendency to develop acne disappears completely.
