What Triggers Dyshidrotic Eczema?
Doctors don’t know the exact cause, but they do know it’s linked to certain triggers. Some of the most common include:
-
Metals like nickel or cobalt (often found in jewelry, coins, or even everyday items)
-
Irritating chemicals, especially in certain jobs (like hairdressing or metalwork)
-
Excessive sweating
-
Smoking
-
UV light exposure
-
Warm weather
-
Stress (yes, emotional stress can show up on your skin!)
Not everyone has the same triggers, so it may take some trial and error to figure out what sparks a flare-up for you.
