Eczema commonly flares during the change from spring to summer, in hot and humid weather, or when the skin is exposed to ongoing irritation.

Clinically, this is not simply a matter of “touching an irritant”. It is often the result of the skin barrier, immune response and the body’s internal regulation all working together.

In clinic, it is quite common to see recurrent small blisters on the hands or feet during the change from spring to summer, or in hot and humid weather.
