I have been providing childcare for the last 15 years. The last couple of years I started getting Eczema on my hands. I am constantly doing dishes, and hand washing and am now trying to concur this problem. My hands especially my right hand all around the knuckles and fingers are red and itchy and it looks AWFUL! I am starting to have some of my families ask if I'm ok!
Any advice on how to get rid of or control this Eczema? Over the counter Cortisone isn't helping. I have tried Essential oils not working. The only thing that helps is to keep my hands out of water! But due to the nature of our business that is impossible!!
Im sorry! My DD has pretty rough exzema too
Short of seeing a doctor, I would put Eucerin on your hands and sleep in gloves. I coat DD's whole little body in Eucerin and then put on light weight cotton jammies and her skin is always softer in the morning and the exzema patches look better. If I skip a day the patches get quite a bit worse.
