Common Questions and Answers about Eczema treatment hands
eczema
In most cases of eczema no one treatment will be effective. Medical research shows that the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes(prevention of triggers and application of lots of moisturizers) to control flare-ups. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
Hi. I have something between my fingers like hyper pigmented patches with thick layer. The dermatologist gave me betamethasone (cortisone) ointment and emollient. This was from many years and the progression of treatment is so slow. I don't know is that eczema, or what? It neither itches nor burn me... this patches troubling me and I want to cure it...
My hands have eczema, occassionally I have what can only be described as an attack. They itch terribly, the skin between my fingers becomes very red, I scratch and rub my hands together like crazy, worsening the condition. My hands become swollen, then the skin hardens and the whole process begings over again, lasting two to three weeks between attacks. What can I do when an attack occurs?
The palms of my hands have areas that look like the skin is pushed up. Especially when wet, they itch and feel really irritated. Its like small white bumps of skin, in quite a bit of profusion. What is the matter?
Hello,
If you are having itchy palms since childhood, it can be due to atopic dermatitis or eczema, contact dermatitis, infection, neurodermatitis, eczema or liver or kidney causes.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, non contagious itchy skin condition which may effect any body part and may manifest in childhood.
My feet are definitely improving and my hands had cleared up but the last couple days the eczema came back on the tips of my thumb and ring finger in full force. It is deeply cracked and has a throbbing, deep itching pain to it. It isn't responding to any sort of lotions or any other treatment, other than steroids which I'm afraid to use because I already used them for such a long time. My husband noted it looks like the grand canyon on my fingers.
January was an extremely stressful and difficult month for me and on top of that I was getting only a few hours of sleep. Information that may be useful is that my two children have eczema which has been diagnosed last month. I have been applying creams to their sores without wearing gloves.
I had sexual encounters with prostitutes but always use condoms for intercourse.
Hi,
Dyshidrotic eczema is generally defined as an itchy rash limited to the hands (usually the palms and sides of the fingers) and sometimes the feet. Dyshidrotic eczema manifests as small, itchy, fluid-filled blisters. Its cause is unknown and may recur during warm weather.
To manage dyshidrotic eczema, your physician may recommend soaks with drying agents if many blisters are present, as well as the removal of irritating agents.
Hi, I have eczema on my hands and that's why I have many scars on my hands. This morning I shook hands with one of my friends whose hand was also injured. If that person has HIV, can I get it from them?
At night, repair them with creams formulated from glycolic acid—a must for improving skin texture and tone. For a more intensive nighttime treatment, apply cream and then cover hands with gloves or socks.I would also suggest you to avoid washing hands with soap repeatedly and use gloves while doing any household work.
In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
Sounds like a type of eczema. Sometimes eczema is exasperated by one's diet, because eczema is affected by food sensitivities. Cold sore medications are ineffective if this is eczema. Eczema is also known as the itch that rashes, which is why the little bumps get worse if you pick at them. The usual consensus for foods to avoid when you have eczema are gluten and dairy. There are others, but these are the big ones. They definitely affect my eczema.
Pompholyx is a common type of eczema affecting the hands. It is also known as dyshidrotic eczema or vesicular eczema of the hands.
Initially it presents as tiny blisters (vesicles) deep in the skin of the palms, fingers. The blisters are often intensely itchy or have a burning feeling. In severe cases, big blisters and cracks develop which can prevent work.
In the later stages more peeling, cracking, or crusting can be seen. Then the skin heals up, or the blistering may start again.
The most causes for the dry patch are Eczema and Psoriasis. Eczema is one condition where the hands get cracked. In this disorder contact with triggering factors like soaps, cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, and detergents causes symptoms. Sometimes sweat, changes in temperature and psychological stress are known to trigger these episodes. Psoriasis is an auto immune disorder that can cause dry cracked hands. Genetic and immunologic theories have been predicted as causes for psoriasis.

This sounds to me like eczema. I have had eczema for years but only recently has it been on my hands. It is an allergic reaction. Sometimes mine heal and sometimes the skin on my fingers peels making them very sensitive. For this, my doctor recommended a steroidal cream. While it isn't dry skin, one of the keys to eczema is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Although I caution you in doing that because it might be the lotion that you are allergic to (as I am...).
I have very dry, flakey, itchy Hands. They hurt very bad and are so cracked. What can I do for them. I have tried every kind of hand cream and lotion.Nothing seems to work.
I also have dyshidrotic eczema on my hands, and for me it flares up when I use fragrant lotions (Bath and Body Works-type stuff), when I am under stress, or when my hands get sweaty. Before I sought a doctor's advice, I would use anti-itch creams such as Lanacane or Gold Bond. However, once I finally went to the derm. I was prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1%. It helps stop new vesicles from forming and, if used daily, minimizes the dry skin that tends to come when the blisters heal.
which is the typical ending for a steroid. Steroids creams are pretty standard treatment for eczema. I don't remember how many were tried on my daughter before we settled on her current treatment. Yours sounds more like an antibiotic cream. hmmm....
Well, if it works that is all that matters.
Thanks for posting back.
God bless.
