i thought my dyshidrotic eczema on my thumb was going away at last. I only had one small blister that looked like it was going to dry out, but when I woke up today, it was a cluster and more dot have appeared overnight. It's so disheartening how it just sprouts a new cluster as soon as one patch starts to heal. It seems to come out more in the night, could it be aggravated by the heat in the bed
I am already using betamethasone but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Is there anything to… read more
I was prescribed Zoryve for my Dyshidrotic eczema and it’s been doing great. My flares persist and only Zoryve will make them go away and not come back - but only with continued use. My Dyshidrotic eczema patches are on my left hand - the tip of my ring finger and 3”x2” patch on my palm. I put the cream on my patches every morning and it keeps the little red dots/blisters from returning.
I tested out not reapplying for a few days on my fingertip patch and the blisters immediately returned but once I put the cream back on again daily, they started going away.
Dyshidrotic eczema is so odd. I know some people have flares that will go away with treatment and then come back months later. Mine stay and will not go away without daily treatment.
I'm sorry to hear that you have this and can't get rid of it, it must be really frustrating! Thank you for this information, I will keep an eye out for Zoryve, it doesn't appear to be approved here where I live yet (UK).
So far I've had a thing about 10 years ago which was similar to DE but we weren't sure it was DE as it started on my calf and ankle, then moved to my foot and back up to my lower calf and what got rid of it was antifungal treatment. I hope it's not going to be an ongoing issue now, if it spreads more I will ask my doctor's if they would be willing to let me try Zoryve. I think it's here but just not approved for general prescribing.
Heat and humidity can indeed trigger dyshidrotic eczema flares, so your observation about nighttime flares possibly being related to bed warmth is astute. To help manage this, try keeping your bedroom cooler and using breathable cotton bedding.
