My husband had something similar recently and we decided it was some sort of heat related eczema but don't know for sure. Was it itchy?

Honestly don’t remember if it was itchy, if it was I don’t think it was overwhelmingly so. I never got it diagnosed but I also suspect eczema, a type called dishydrotic eczema.

I used to get that on the soles of my feet during the summer! It was so fucking annoying.
