I think I have dyshidrotic eczema

Don't worry, I'll make it.

I've been getting these itchy little water bumps on my hands for years now and I had no idea what it is. But I just decided to do a search again and that's what I came up with. I only get them when it gets really hot out. In the article it also says that they originally thought it has to do with malfunctioning sweat glands but now they don't. Well guess what? I don't sweat right. When it gets superhot the most that happens to me is that I get a little tacky. It'd have to be 100 degrees and humid for me to manage one bead of sweat. So when it gets hot, I stay hot. No natural cooling for me.

So a few years back I started getting these little bumps on my hands and it was pretty apparent that it was all about the weather. Because I live in Massachusetts it's obvious since most of the year it's not that hot. But when it is these little bumpies strike. Quite honestly I've learned to just pop them if they show up, there's no reason not to. They itch, you pop them, it makes a little brown mark that goes away, and you're done. Otherwise they just continue to itch. I know that sounds gross but it's just water and they're teeny tiny.

I know what the article said but I insist that it's sweat desperately trying to get out of me. I get zits on my face now too that don't actually appear to be zits. Maybe it's the same type of thing because they're not whiteheads or blackheads they just appear, itch, and then eventually go away. No stuff in them.

And that is your grossness quotient for the day.
