Weather and Dyshidrotic eczema

// October 15th, 2009 // No Comments » // questions, seasons

After reading a new website post about different kinds of Dyshidrotic eczema which have included the top paragraph below. So after reading this something caught my eye. Though the wording in this whole paragraph seemed really odd what caught my eye was the last sentence “ability become worse during balmy weather,” made me think, is this correct? I do understand that for normal people with eczema the winter may bring on some cold which in turn can maybe can cause dry skin in some, but dry skin also is really prominent in the summer and heat as well correct? And the normal person seems to sweat more in the heat and summer correct? Then why is it that some of us really only see cases of Dyshidrotic eczema in the winter months? Please use the comment space to this comment and let me know what you think about this or when you see your pompholyx show up most often.
