汗かん疱ぽう

noun

dyshidrosis; pompholyx

Medical term for a skin condition with small blisters on the hands or feet. Not the same as athlete's foot (水虫), though the English gloss includes it; athlete's foot is a fungal infection, while 汗疱 is a form of eczema.

• 汗かん疱ぽうは、手てのひらや足あしの裏うらに小ちいさな水みずぶくれができる皮ひ膚ふの病びょう気きです。

  Dyshidrosis is a skin condition where small blisters appear on the palms or soles.
