Abstract:

Dyshidrotic eczema is a type of eczema that causes tiny blisters to develop across the fingers, palms of the hands and sometimes the soles of the feet. It can affect people of any age, but it's most often seen in adults under 40. DE can sometimes be confused with similar-looking conditions. See your GP if you have any sort of blistering skin condition. It usually starts as intense itching and burning of the skin on the hands and fingers. The palms and sides of the fingers (and sometimes the soles of the feet) then erupt into tiny itchy blisters that may weep fluid. Description of the case: Two patients (white, male 37-year-old; white, female 50-year-old) showed the presence of dyshidrotic eczema, bilateral (the male on the hands and the lady on the feet). Both patients had been treated with cortisone and antistaminics for months with no success but controlling the symptoms. Both cases were initially treated with osteopathic manipulation and with re-educational nutritional habits. During the treatment drugs were systematically reassessed and decreased. Conclusions: The role of postural distortion and nutritional assessment is unsure. When we recognize that these distortions have a profound effect on vital structures in the spine and intestine, we have a tremendous opportunity to create healing. It might seem strange that, in order to eliminate dyshidrotic eczema, we might have to treat the spine and the intestine. However, along with very specific structures in the spine it is important to look at all facets of the patient's lifestyle in order to solve the problem.
