Polyetiological, usually episodic, acute, subacute or chronically recurrent, vesicular, also vesiculo-squamous dermatitis on palms and soles with clear, about 0.1 cm large, intraepidermally located, grayish shimmering vesicles or (more rarely) also blisters. If the occurrence of large blisters predominates, the clinical term "pompholyx" is used, on the hands "cheiropompholyx", on the feet "podopompholyx". The clinically visible vesicles of dyshidrotic eczema are an expression of spongiotic dermatitis of the groin skin.
