Dr. Liu Wan
Common causes of dyshidrotic eczema include psychological factors and genetic predisposition. Patients experiencing significant mental stress, excessive fatigue, or depressive mood may develop dyshidrotic eczema. Clinically, a genetic component is also recognized; individuals with a family history of dyshidrotic eczema have an increased risk of developing the condition. If the affected area is extensive, patients should seek prompt medical evaluation and treatment to prevent disease progression.
