Yes, dyshidrotic eczema (DE) commonly appears in the same locations, particularly on the palms, sides of fingers, and thumbs. The condition is characterized by small blisters (vesicles) that can merge to form larger ones, typically 1-2 millimeters in size. These blisters tend to recur in the same areas due to the chronic nature of the condition. Eczema is a chronic condition that operates in cycles of flare-ups and remission. The itch-scratch cycle can make symptoms worse and lead to skin thickening in affected areas. While your thumb is healing in one spot, it's not unusual for symptoms to appear or reappear in other areas. Since you're experiencing persistent symptoms, it's important to keep your follow-up appointment with the doctor to confirm the exact diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
