Dyshidrotic eczema is an inflammatory condition resulting from sweat gland dysfunction and is classified as a type of eczema. It is advisable to seek timely medical attention and manage the condition under a doctor's guidance. In the early stages, there may be significant local exudation; in such cases, wet compresses using boric acid solution or ethacridine lactate solution are recommended under medical supervision to reduce exudation.
