There is a disease called dyshidrotic eczema, which mainly appears on the palms and soles of the feet. The edges of the fingernails are relatively symmetrical, and when they occur, there are several small blisters scattered densely, the same as normal skin color, not too red and swollen, but after being broken, mucus will infect other parts and cause complications.
