Can you pop dyshidrotic eczema?

Question

These tiny, itchy blisters keep coming up on my hands, especially when it's hot. My mom told me not to scratch or pop them, but sometimes they get so annoying. Is it really bad to pop dyshidrotic eczema?

Rahul Verma · Accepted Answer

Please don't pop those tiny blisters, even if they itch crazy. I track my skin flare-ups on my health app, and popping them always leads to secondary bacterial infections which take twice as long to heal. Keep the skin hydrated with a good moisturizer instead.

I just recovered from a bad bout of this on my fingers last month. Honestly, do not pop them! Popping makes the skin raw, extremely painful, and spreads the irritation. Let them dry out naturally, and use a doctor-prescribed cream for the itching.

Bhai, bilkul bhi mat phodna un danyion ko. Humare yahan kehte hain ki inko phodne se infection badh jata hai aur dard bhi zyada hota hai. Thoda thanda nariyal tel laga lo aaram ke liye, par doctor ko dikhana sabse accha rahega.

No, never pop those eczema bumps. If you pop them, you risk getting an infection which will mean extra doctor visits and expensive antibiotic ointments. Just apply ice wrapped in a clean cloth to soothe the itching and keep your hands dry.

Bro, seriously don't do it. I popped a couple of those itchy little water blisters on my palm once and my skin literally peeled off like crazy and hurt for a week. Just leave them alone and let a dermatologist give you a proper steroid cream.
