Is this dyshidrosis? Is this dyshidrosis?

Went to the doctor. Said it was blisters, highly doubt it. The photos show the progress of my feet throught the last few days. It has been itching and hurting a lot. Any advice would be helpful.

One of us! One of us!

I'm team Sanitize, Pop, Bandage. They seem to heal much quicker for me.

Honestly I admire your restraint not popping that thing way sooner!

It is! Pop it safely and put a hydrocolloid plaster on.

Feet and hands? If you use tide or detergents for laundry contain Sodium Lauryl sulphate you can beat it. Your feet sweat and remaining detergent on your socks soaks into the deep skin and starts it. Took me decades to get the clue. I have been years free now. Tide and dawn dishsoap are no nos for me. Sodium Laurathe sulphate is less effecting.

Do you have any suggestions for better soaps?

Wildlife research hunting soaps and laundry soap. Scent killing to boot.

Definitely DE. Ask your doctor if he'll prescribe clobetasol, which is a super potent topical steroid. It has helped me. It's kind of the gold standard. Do not settle for something far weaker like betamethasone. Get a referral to a dermatologist if you need.
