Dyshydroza
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Dyshydroza, znana również jako wyprysk dyshydrotyczny lub pompholyx, to przewlekła dermatoza charakteryzująca się występowaniem drobnych (1-2 mm), wypełnionych płynem pęcherzyków lokalizujących się głównie na bocznych częściach palców, dłoniach i podeszwach stóp. Schorzenie dotyczy przede wszystkim osób w wieku 20-40 lat, z przewagą kobiet, i może mieć przebieg od samoograniczającego się do ciężkiego, upośledzającego funkcjonowanie pacjenta. Typowy epizod trwa 2-3 tygodnie, z tendencją do nawrotów. Objawy obejmują świąd, pieczenie, mrowienie, bolesne pęcherzyki oraz suchą, popękaną skórę po ustąpieniu zmian. Czynniki wyzwalające to m.in. stres, kontakt z alergenami (nikiel, kobalt), detergenty, nadmierna potliwość, wysoka temperatura i wilgotność. Diagnostyka opiera się na badaniu klinicznym i wywiadzie, z możliwością wykonania testów alergicznych (patch test) oraz wykluczenia infekcji grzybiczych współistniejących.

Wprowadzenie do dyshydrozy

Dyshydroza (znana również jako wyprysk dyshydrotyczny, wyprysk potnicowy lub pompholyx) to przewlekła choroba skóry charakteryzująca się występowaniem małych, wypełnionych płynem pęcherzyków, które pojawiają się głównie na dłoniach, stopach lub w obu tych lokalizacjach jednocześnie. Najczęściej zmiany widoczne są na bocznych częściach palców, dłoniach i podeszwach stóp12. Schorzenie to dotyka najczęściej osoby w wieku od 20 do 40 lat, z przewagą występowania u kobiet34. Dyshydroza może występować samodzielnie lub współistnieć z innymi formami wyprysku w innych lokalizacjach ciała5.

Przebieg kliniczny dyshydrozy jest zróżnicowany – od zmian samoograniczających się do postaci przewlekłej, ciężkiej i upośledzającej funkcjonowanie pacjenta6. Typowy epizod trwa od 2 do 3 tygodni, ale schorzenie ma tendencję do nawrotów78. Dyshydroza nie jest chorobą zakaźną – nie można jej przenieść na inne osoby ani zarazić się nią od innych910.

Objawy kliniczne dyshydrozy

Główne objawy dyshydrozy obejmują1112:

  • Małe, twarde pęcherzyki o wielkości 1-2 mm na bokach dłoni, palcach i podeszwach stóp
  • Bolesne pęcherzyki, przypominające tapiokę
  • Swędzącą, łuszczącą się skórę na lub wokół pęcherzyków
  • Zwiększoną potliwość wokół pęcherzyków
  • Suchą, popękaną skórę, która pojawia się po ustąpieniu pęcherzyków
  • Uczucie pieczenia lub mrowienia w obszarach objętych zmianami

W początkowej fazie dyshydrozy skóra staje się bardzo swędząca z uczuciem pieczenia i mrowienia. Następnie pojawiają się małe pęcherzyki, które mogą przekształcić się w większe zmiany13. Bez odpowiedniej opieki, pęcherzyki mogą ulec zakażeniu, co powoduje obrzęk i ból. W zaawansowanych przypadkach dyshydroza może prowadzić do pęknięć i zgrubienia skóry14.

Dla większości osób z dyshydrozą jest to po prostu swędzące utrudnienie. Dla innych, ból i swędzenie mogą ograniczać użytkowanie rąk lub stóp15. W ciężkich przypadkach dyshydrozy, pacjent może odczuwać trudności w16:

  • Chodzeniu
  • Używaniu rąk
  • Wykonywaniu pracy
  • Spaniu

Przyczyny i czynniki wyzwalające

Dokładna przyczyna dyshydrozy nie jest w pełni poznana17, jednak znanych jest kilka czynników, które mogą wyzwalać lub zaostrzać objawy:

Aktywacja układu odpornościowego

U osób z dyshydrozą układ odpornościowy reaguje na drobne czynniki drażniące lub alergeny. Ta nadmierna reakcja może prowadzić do zapalenia skóry18. Skóra staje się nadwrażliwa, a komórki odpornościowe migrują z krwi do skóry, tworząc charakterystyczne pęcherzyki19.

Stres

Stres jest istotnym czynnikiem wyzwalającym epizody dyshydrozy2021. Wielu pacjentów zgłasza pogorszenie objawów w okresach stresu emocjonalnego lub fizycznego, co sugeruje silną korelację między stanem psychicznym a nasileniem choroby22.

Alergeny i czynniki drażniące

Kontakt z alergenami może wyzwalać reakcje dyshydrotyczne, szczególnie2324:

  • Metale (np. nikiel, kobalt)
  • Chemikalia i rozpuszczalniki
  • Detergenty i produkty czystości
  • Niektóre produkty spożywcze (czekolada, grzyby, żywność w puszkach, kawa)
  • Kosmetyki i produkty pielęgnacyjne zawierające agresywne substancje chemiczne lub zapachy

Czynniki środowiskowe

Dyshydroza może być zaostrzana przez2526:

  • Nadmierne pocenie się
  • Wysoka temperatura i wilgotność
  • Ekspozycja na promieniowanie słoneczne
  • Częsty kontakt z wodą

Infekcje

Dyshydroza może współistnieć z infekcjami grzybiczymi stóp (grzybica) lub rąk2728. W takich przypadkach wyleczenie infekcji może być konieczne do opanowania objawów dyshydrozy.

Diagnoza dyshydrozy

Diagnoza dyshydrozy opiera się głównie na badaniu fizykalnym i wywiadzie medycznym29. Dermatolog zazwyczaj może zdiagnozować dyshydrozę na podstawie charakterystycznego wyglądu zmian skórnych30. Jest to jeden z tych stanów, który doświadczony lekarz może rozpoznać na pierwszy rzut oka31.

Podczas wizyty diagnostycznej dermatolog32:

  • Dokładnie obejrzy skórę dłoni i stóp
  • Może pobrać płyn z pęcherzyka, jeśli wygląda na zakażony
  • Zada pytania dotyczące zdrowia, pracy, hobby oraz czasu, w którym zazwyczaj pojawiają się pęcherzyki

Jeśli dermatolog podejrzewa, że dyshydroza może być spowodowana alergią, może zalecić wykonanie testu alergicznego zwanego patch testem (testami płatkowymi)3334. Dodatkowo mogą być wykonane badania w celu wykluczenia innych schorzeń, które mogą powodować podobne objawy35.

Leczenie dyshydrozy

Chociaż dyshydroza jest chorobą przewlekłą bez możliwości całkowitego wyleczenia36, istnieje wiele metod leczenia, które mogą pomóc kontrolować objawy i zapobiegać nawrotom. Plan leczenia jest dostosowywany indywidualnie w zależności od nasilenia objawów37.

Leczenie miejscowe

Kortykosteroidy miejscowe – są podstawą leczenia dyshydrozy3839:

  • Kremy lub maści z kortykosteroidami o dużej sile działania są stosowane miejscowo na zmiany skórne
  • Zakrywanie leczonego obszaru folią lub wilgotnym bandażem pomaga skórze wchłonąć lek
  • Długotrwałe stosowanie steroidów może powodować skutki uboczne, takie jak pajączki naczyniowe i ścieńczenie skóry

Inhibitory kalcyneuryny – takie jak takrolimus (Protopic) mogą być pomocne dla osób, które chcą ograniczyć ekspozycję na steroidy4041. Należy unikać łączenia tego leczenia z fototerapią.

Okłady i kompresy – mogą być skuteczne w łagodzeniu objawów4243:

  • Zimne kompresy stosowane 2-4 razy dziennie mogą zmniejszyć świąd
  • Moczenie w roztworze nadmanganianu potasu (1:10 000) lub roztworze Burowa pomaga wysuszyć pęcherzyki i zmniejsza ryzyko zakażenia
  • Duże pęcherzyki można odbarczyć sterylną strzykawką, pozostawiając ich „dach” nienaruszony

Leczenie ogólnoustrojowe

W ciężkich przypadkach dyshydrozy mogą być konieczne leki ogólnoustrojowe4445:

Fototerapia

Jeśli inne metody leczenia nie są skuteczne, lekarz może zalecić fototerapię4647:

  • Światło ultrafioletowe typu UVA lub UVA-1, stosowane samodzielnie lub z doustnym lub miejscowym psoralenem (PUVA)
  • Terapia światłem UVB (wąskopasmowa) również wykazała skuteczność

Fototerapia jest często bardzo dobrą strategią, ale logistycznie może być trudna, ponieważ wymaga uczęszczania do kliniki dermatologicznej na zabiegi 2-3 razy w tygodniu, przynajmniej na początku leczenia48.

Inne metody leczenia

Iniekcje toksyny botulinowej – mogą pomóc zmniejszyć nadmierne pocenie się i poprawić stan skóry4950.

Chelatory niklu (np. disulfiram) – stosowane okazjonalnie u pacjentów wrażliwych na nikiel51.

Leczenie zakażeń współistniejących

Dyshydroza może współistnieć z infekcjami grzybiczymi, dlatego ocena powinna obejmować sprawdzenie obecności takich infekcji na dłoniach i/lub stopach52. W przypadku zidentyfikowania infekcji grzybiczej, konieczne będzie jej leczenie przed opanowaniem dyshydrozy53.

Pielęgnacja skóry i profilaktyka

Prawidłowa pielęgnacja skóry i unikanie czynników wyzwalających są kluczowe w zapobieganiu nawrotom dyshydrozy54.

Higiena i pielęgnacja dłoni i stóp

Mycie i suszenie5556:

  • Zawsze zdejmuj pierścionki przed myciem rąk, nakładaniem kremu nawilżającego i przed snem
  • Używaj letniej (nie gorącej) wody do mycia
  • Myj skórę łagodnymi, bezzapachowymi środkami czyszczącymi, unikaj mydła antybakteryjnego i dezodorującego
  • Dokładnie osuszaj dłonie i stopy po umyciu

Nawilżanie5758:

  • Stosuj bezwonny krem lub maść (unikaj płynów, które zawierają zbyt dużo wody)
  • Nakładaj krem nawilżający lub naprawczy barierę skórną często w ciągu dnia
  • Najlepsze momenty na nakładanie kremu to: po umyciu, gdy skóra jest wilgotna, oraz gdy skóra wydaje się sucha
  • Dermatolog może zalecić stosowanie produktu zwanego kremem naprawczym barierę skórną, zawierającego dimetikon

Ochrona skóry

Rękawiczki i odzież ochronna5859:

  • Noś rękawiczki przed kontaktem z wodą i substancjami drażniącymi
  • Wybierz odpowiedni rodzaj rękawiczek do danego zadania:
    • Do prac na sucho: 100% bawełniane rękawiczki
    • Do mokrych prac: 100% bawełniane rękawiczki pod wodoodpornymi rękawiczkami
  • Jeśli zauważysz, że noszenie rękawiczek pogarsza wysypkę, możesz być wrażliwy na rękawiczki – poinformuj o tym lekarza
  • Noś skarpety odprowadzające wilgoć, jeśli masz dyshydrozę na stopach
  • Wybieraj obuwie i ubrania z oddychających materiałów, które umożliwiają cyrkulację powietrza (bawełna, siatka, konopie, płótno)

Unikanie czynników wyzwalających

Zidentyfikowanie i unikanie czynników wyzwalających jest kluczowe w zapobieganiu nawrotom6061:

  • Unikaj znanych alergenów, szczególnie metali (nikiel, kobalt)
  • Ogranicz ekspozycję na chemikalia, detergenty i rozpuszczalniki
  • Chroń dłonie podczas prac mokrych
  • Unikaj skrajnych warunków pogodowych (bardzo gorących, suchych)
  • Szybko zdejmuj spocone rękawiczki i skarpety
  • Jeśli masz alergię na nikiel lub kobalt, może być konieczna zmiana diety

Zarządzanie stresem

Ponieważ stres jest istotnym czynnikiem wyzwalającym dyshydrozę, skuteczne zarządzanie stresem może pomóc w zapobieganiu nawrotom6263:

  • Praktykuj techniki redukcji stresu, takie jak medytacja, joga lub głębokie oddychanie
  • Niektórzy pacjenci odczuwają poprawę dzięki bioobsprzężeniu zwrotnemu (biofeedback)
  • W małych badaniach terapia bioobsprzężenia zwrotnego okazała się szczególnie skuteczna
  • W razie potrzeby skonsultuj się ze specjalistą zdrowia psychicznego

Dyshydroza w praktyce pielęgniarskiej

Dyshydroza stanowi szczególne wyzwanie dla personelu medycznego, zwłaszcza pielęgniarek, które muszą często myć ręce i nosić rękawiczki, co może zaostrzać objawy6465.

Wyzwania dla personelu medycznego

Pielęgniarki z dyshydrozą napotykają na specyficzne trudności w pracy6667:

  • Konieczność częstego mycia rąk, co może zaostrzać objawy
  • Długotrwałe noszenie rękawiczek, które może prowadzić do zwiększonej potliwości i pogorszenia stanu skóry
  • Ekspozycja na środki dezynfekujące i inne potencjalne czynniki drażniące
  • Potencjalne ograniczenie zdolności do wykonywania niektórych procedur medycznych

Strategie dla pracowników służby zdrowia

Personel medyczny z dyshydrozą może stosować następujące strategie6869:

  • Stosowanie bezdotykowych środków odkażających na bazie alkoholu zamiast częstego mycia rąk, gdy jest to bezpieczne i możliwe
  • Noszenie bawełnianych rękawiczek pod rękawiczkami nitrylowymi
  • Używanie skarpet z funkcją odprowadzania wilgoci
  • Noszenie dobrze wentylowanego obuwia
  • Ograniczenie mycia rąk do niezbędnego minimum, zgodnie z protokołami bezpieczeństwa
  • Dokładne mycie rąk przez co najmniej kilka minut, a następnie ich osuszanie i nakładanie balsamu
  • Stosowanie przepisanych leków, które pomagają utrzymać zaostrzenia na minimalnym poziomie

Ważne jest, aby instruktorzy i przełożeni byli świadomi stanu zdrowia osoby z dyshydrozą i aby było to wyraźnie udokumentowane. Należy również przygotować plan działania na wypadek zaostrzenia70.

Leczenie fototerapią w pielęgniarstwie

Fototerapia może być szczególnie skuteczną opcją leczenia dla personelu medycznego z dyshydrozą71. Przykład pielęgniarki z 12-letnim doświadczeniem pokazuje, że:

  • Fototerapia może znacząco poprawić jakość życia i umożliwić kontynuowanie pracy
  • Leczenie może być kontynuowane przez kilka lat, z ostatnimi latami w dawce podtrzymującej (co drugi tydzień)
  • Po zakończeniu intensywnego leczenia możliwa jest remisja utrzymująca się przez lata

Kiedy skonsultować się z lekarzem

Należy skontaktować się z lekarzem w następujących przypadkach7273:

  • Gdy zauważysz pęcherzyki na dłoniach, palcach i stopach
  • Gdy objawy utrzymują się mimo stosowania leków dostępnych bez recepty
  • Gdy występują oznaki zakażenia, takie jak:
    • Zwiększone zaczerwienienie, obrzęk lub obecność ropy
    • Gorączka
    • Powiększone węzły chłonne
  • Gdy dyshydroza znacząco wpływa na codzienne czynności, pracę lub sen

Konsultacja ze specjalistą dermatologiem jest szczególnie ważna w przypadku ciężkich, nawracających lub opornych na leczenie przypadków dyshydrozy74. Dermatolog może przeprowadzić dokładniejszą diagnostykę, w tym testy alergiczne, oraz zaproponować bardziej zaawansowane metody leczenia75.

Rokowanie i perspektywy

Dyshydroza jest zazwyczaj chorobą przewlekłą, która pojawia się i ustępuje w czasie76. Przebieg kliniczny może być zróżnicowany – od samoograniczającego się do przewlekłego, ciężkiego lub upośledzającego funkcjonowanie77.

Typowe zaostrzenie trwa około 2-3 tygodni78. Po wyleczeniu pęcherzyków, mogą pozostać ciemne plamy na skórze (przebarwienia pozapalne), a skóra może wydawać się sucha i łuszcząca79.

Dyshydroza może być szczególnie aktywna w wieku 20-40 lat, z mniejszą liczbą zaostrzeń w późniejszym życiu80. Chociaż nie ma leku na dyshydrozę, odpowiednia pielęgnacja skóry, unikanie czynników wyzwalających i stosowanie odpowiednich leków może znacznie poprawić jakość życia pacjentów81.

Pacjenci z dyshydrozą mogą ponosić ekonomiczne obciążenie z powodu choroby, dlatego ważne jest, aby lekarze rozpoznawali tę chorobę i jej leczenie, aby zminimalizować koszty opieki zdrowotnej i poprawić jakość życia pacjentów82.

  • #6 Dyshidrotic Eczema (Pompholyx): Background, Etiology, Epidemiology
    https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1122527-overview
    Dyshidrotic eczema is a type of eczema (dermatitis) that is characterized by a pruritic vesicular eruption (bullae, or blisters) on the fingers, palms, and soles; typically these intensely itchy blisters develop on the edges of the fingers, toes, palms, and soles of the feet. This skin condition affects teenagers and adults and may be acute, recurrent, or chronic. A more appropriate term for this vesicular eruption is pompholyx, which means bubble. Some have suggested that the terms pompholyx and dyshidrosis are both obsolete and that acute and recurrent vesicular hand dermatitis is a better term for this condition. […] The clinical course of dyshidrotic eczema can range from self-limited to chronic, severe, or debilitating.

  • #14 Dyshidrosis – Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis
    Dyshidrosis is a type of dermatitis, characterized by itchy vesicles of 12 mm in size, on the palms of the hands, sides of fingers, or bottoms of the feet. Outbreaks usually conclude within three to four weeks, but often recur. Repeated attacks may result in fissures and skin thickening. The cause of the condition is not known. […] Avoiding triggers may be useful, as may be the application of a barrier cream or wearing of gloves. Treatment is generally made with steroid cream, although this can be dangerous in the long term due to the side effect of thinning of the skin, which is particularly troublesome in the context of hand dyshidrosis due to the amount of toxins and bacteria the hands typically come in contact with. High strength steroid creams may be required for the first week or two.

High strength steroid creams may be required for the first week or two.

    My name is Melissa and I have been a nurse for 12 years. I was a nurse working in postpartum maternity in 2009, when I developed dyshidrotic eczema on my hands and feet. Working had become very difficult because as a nurse I had to constantly wash my hands and wear gloves which aggravated my eczema. I had to come up with creative ways to work! I started using alcohol free Purell which was less irritating to my hands, cotton gloves under my nitrile gloves, socks with a wicking feature, well ventilated shoes, and limited hand washing as much as safely possible. In 2010, I was trying to start a family and it was determined that topical medications were no longer a safe option for me and topicals did not really prove successful. It was at that point my dermatologist suggested that I was a perfect candidate for phototherapy. I continued phototherapy treatments for 5 years in which the last year or two was spent on a maintenance dose where I was only treated every other week. I was so frightened to stop treatments because phototherapy gave me a better quality of life! I can now say that have not been treated in 2 1/2 years and considered in remission. Approximately 2 years into the treatments a nursing job opened in the phototherapy department. I continue to work in the phototherapy department, this year I am celebrating 6 years. I love seeing the successes of my patients and there is nothing better than being able to offer support to my patients.
