Eczema symptoms, such as itching and redness, are the body’s response to inflammation. There are distinct types of eczema, which is the one that causes small blisters on the soles of the feet?
The National Eczema Association identify dyshidrotic eczema as the type that describes these specific symptoms.
The small, itchy blisters can appear on the edges of the fingers, toes, palms and soles of the feet.
Triggers for such a reaction include stress, allergies (such as hay fever), moist hands and feet, exposure to nickel, cobalt, and chromium salts.
Symptoms of dyshidrotic eczema include small, fluid-filled blisters on the fingers, hands and feet.
The blisters may last up to three weeks before they begin to dry, and they can sometimes become large and painful.

At-home treatment for the condition involves soaking the affected areas in cool water for 15 minutes up to four times a day.
