Prevention
Because the cause of dyshidrosis is generally unknown, there's no proven way to prevent this condition. You may help prevent the condition by managing stress and avoiding exposure to metal salts, such as cobalt and nickel.
Good skin care practices may help protect the skin as well. These include:
- Using mild cleansers and lukewarm water to wash your hands and drying your hands well
- Moisturizing regularly
- Wearing gloves
