A skin condition that causes small, itchy blisters to form on the hands and feet, often triggered by stress or moisture.
From Greek 'dys-' (bad, abnormal) + 'hidros' (sweat) + '-osis' (condition). Originally named because doctors thought it was related to abnormal sweating, though the exact mechanism remained unclear.
Dysidrosis is still somewhat mysterious to dermatologists—it's one of those conditions that appears suddenly and can be triggered by completely different things in different people, making treatment a real puzzle.
