A common type of hand
eczema, called dyshidrotic
eczema which occurs only
on palms, soles, and sides of
fingers and toes. Tiny opaque bumps called vesicles, thickening, and cracks are accompanied by itching.
This itching gets worse at night and in warm weather. The pus filled lesions could be due to staphylococcus aureus, which is responsible for most skin infections.
Eczema, basically, is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin.
