Dyshidrosis is a condition that causes small, itchy blisters on hands and feet. It is also called dyshidrotic eczema or pompholyx. This condition causes small fluid-filled bumps, which cause itching and can make everyday life and tasks painful and uncomfortable. This condition may come and go, particularly aggravating at times of stress and hot weather. It is managed in the conventional system with a combination of different treatments, like corticosteroids, moisturizer preparations, antiallergic medications, light therapy, etc. Though effective, the results are often short-lived or inadequate in the case of conventional pompholyx treatment. On the other hand, Homeopathy offers a more holistic solution to this problem. Patients receiving Dyshidrosis Homeopathic Treatment have reported better results and often complete recovery from the condition. However, we will discuss various aspects and the scope of treatment of pompholyx in homeopathy in more detail in the following sections.
Common Symptoms of Pompholyx (Dyshidrotic Eczema)
The following are some of the most commonly observed symptoms by a Pompholyx patient:
- Tiny fluid-filled blisters on the sides of fingers, palms, or soles.
- Intense itching around the blisters.
- Redness and inflammation on the affected skin.
- Dry, scaly, or cracked skin as the blisters heal.
- Pain or burning sensation in the affected areas.
- Excessive sweating on palms or soles during flare-ups.
Having an understanding of these symptoms can help the patient take quick action for timely treatment and best results.
What Causes Pompholyx?
The exact cause of this problem is not fully understood. However, the following triggers can be attributed to the onset or worsening of pompholyx:
- Physical/emotional stress: Long-term and high-stress levels are known to disturb the immune function, causing skin problems including dyshidrotic eczema.
- Metal allergies: People allergic to certain metals, like chromium, nickel, and cobalt may develop dyshidrotic eczema.
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis): Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the person constantly sweats from their hands or feet. This makes the skin moist and prone to irritation and pompholyx.
- Frequent contact with water: Frequent and prolonged handwashing or working in damp environments make the person vulnerable to conditions like dyshidrotic eczema.
- Exposure to harsh chemicals: People who are exposed to products containing harsh chemicals like soaps, detergents, and skincare products may develop this condition.
- Hot & humid weather: People who live or work in hot and humid environments are found to have pompholyx and experience flare-ups more than people who live in drier areas.
- Fungal or bacterial infections: Bacterial or fungal infections in the feet or hands may make the person prone to developing dyshidrotic eczema.
- Sensitive or atopic skin: Pompholyx is also known to affect people with a history of eczema or an allergic condition, like allergic rhinitis or hay fever, and asthma.
- Family history: People who have a history of eczema may be more prone to developing dyshidrotic eczema.
Consulting a qualified homeopathic doctor can help you accurately identify and avoid such triggers. This, in turn, plays a crucial role in the success of your Dyshidrosis homeopathic treatment.
What Are the Available Treatment Options?
While Dyshidrosis homeopathic treatment has proven to be highly effective, most people choose to start with the conventional treatment first. Many start both treatments side by side, to maximize their chances of recovery.
The Conventional Approach
The conventional system of pompholyx treatment uses a combination of skincare and medications to treat and suppress the symptoms. Besides oral medicines and external application ointments, soaking the affected areas in cold water is also recommended. This is followed by drying the area and applying moisturizers to promote healing.
On the medication front, steroid creams remain the top choice to reduce inflammation and itching. If blisters are very itchy, the doctor may also prescribe antiallergic medicines.
In severe cases, the doctor might use more advanced treatments like light therapy or immunity-suppressing medicines to control flare-ups.
Limitations of Conventional Treatment:
- No permanent cure
- Results are temporary
- High chances of flare up of symptoms
- Prolonged use of steroid-based creams can make the skin thinner, leading to other complications
The Homeopathic Approach to Pompholyx Treatment
Dyshidrosis homeopathic treatment offers holistic healing and takes a different approach than conventional treatments. Yes, the homeopathic treatment can go alongside the traditional treatment when symptoms are worsened, and immediate relief is the need of the hour.
Otherwise, a qualified and experienced Homeopathic doctor will start the treatment with individualized homeopathic medicines to be taken orally.
For a personalized and effective Dyshidrosis homeopathic treatment, the doctor analyzes your symptoms, triggers, allergies, family history, etc. Then, he/she selects and prepares the most appropriate homeopathic medicine for you in pills or liquid mediums.
The medicine will start healing the skin blisters and simultaneously address any underlying condition like allergies or stress, triggering the symptoms.
The best part is that medicines used for Dyshidrosis homeopathic treatment do not cause any side effects of dependence when taken with proper consultation.
Remember: Self-medication is highly discouraged in homeopathy as it can seriously alter the course of your recovery and may even cause side effects. Therefore, refrain from over-the-counter homeopathic medicines aggressively marketed online and offline to completely heal skin eruptions or pompholyx.
