They can occur in clusters and may cause itching, burning, prickling, or even pain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/eczema\/types\/dyshidrotic-eczema\/symptoms?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Acad\u00e9mie Am\u00e9ricaine de Dermatologie<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the blisters disappear, the skin can become <strong>dry, cracked, flaky, or sore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\ude23 What Can Trigger It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn&#8217;t always one obvious cause.
