when i was a kid pretty much every spring I would get tons of little blisters all over my fingers, arms and sometimes legs. It would last a few weeks and then clear up. My hands would get so swollen and itchy that I was basically useless for those couple weeks. The doctors never knew what it was, they'd just give me some steroid cream and move on. as an adult I'd get it every ~5 years or so. I got it last year and I decided to talk to ChatGPT about it and within a few minutes it had correctly diagnosed it as dyshidrotic eczema. 30+ years of wondering what it was and finally I found out, thanks to AI. what a time to be alive!
