Question by Earth Child: Could my dry hands or eczema?
For the last couple of weeks the backs of my hands have been very dry and look like they are cracking. When I put hand cream on they become very red and hot and it stings, so it can’t just be dry hands. Before this I got dry hands but not like this and hand cream worked fine.

I have read that it may be eczema but am not sure? What cream would work?

Question by kristy_la86: I have a very strange rash/red bumps on my body, could it be flea bites, heat rash, eczema?
I have red bumps in big patches all over my body. They itch really bad, and you can’t really see most of them until I itch them, I have them all up my arms on my elbows (those ones look different, dryish) some on my lower stomach, and legs. I lotion ALOT. I thought it could be flea bites maybe? We just put new carpet in our place, cleaned all our sheets -bedding washed both cats and got flea collars and I still have it. It got alittle better and then just came back again. Does anyone know what it could be? Also, maybe somethin from the lake maybe because Ive been going there lately. I appreciate any help!
pretty sure its swimmers itch ive been researchin online and it makes the most sense specially how its come and go when ive been to this one lake. i dont have inscurance so i dont really have the money to be visitin a bunch of doctors unless it doesnt go away, thanx for all ur help1

Q&A: What skin creme do you suggest to treat hand eczema? Could it be caused from hospital gloves?

Question by Dee B: What skin creme do you suggest to treat hand eczema? Could it be caused from hospital gloves?
I have had chronic eczema on 2 parts of my hand for years. My left hand is not affected.I have tried prescribed cremes and ontments and nothing seems to help. What creme/ ointment do you recommend for this condition? What is the difference between: Clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropiate1%/ 0.05, betamethasone valerate 0.1%, and clobetasol propionate0.05% ( Which I recently got)? What is better, ointment or cremes? Could this be some type of allergy?

Answer by クリスタル
It could be an allergic reaction to the gloves. Are they latex? Did you have an eczema problem before you started using the gloves? That is definitely something to look into.

You can try cortisone cream, or aloe vera to help soothe, but that doesnt address what is causing the eczema.

If the gloves are not the cause, then you should definitely look into your eczema being a result of candida in the system – or just look here at some of the things that may be causing it: http://eczema.skyeherbals.com/causes_of_eczema.html

My mother had horrible eczema on her hands for as long as i can remember and nothing that was given to her over the counter or by doctors ever addressed what was actually causing the problem. I would definitely recommend looking into holistics to help you heal.

I have hand eczema, is it possible that eczema could also give me blisters on my feet?

Question by Dottie: I have hand eczema, is it possible that eczema could also give me blisters on my feet?
My feet are looking like my hands. I have been getting the same small tiny blisters that grow larger on my feet. Sometimes the blisters cover an entire foot or I would have large and small blisters all over both feet.
I have to use a prescription cream for my hand ezcema called Triamcinolone 0.1% because my doctor found that I was allergic to just about every cream on the market. My doctor told me to use this on my feet. It cleared up and a few weeks later they come back again. I go back to the doctor on Wednesday for a follow-up. I have new shoes, new socks, and new house shoes still the blisters come back.
I have very sensitive skin and products on the market for sensitive skin the doctor found I was allergic to them, too.

If anyone else has this problem, how do you deal with it? Any suggestions that you have used that worked would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I also have eczema. But if it’s on the bottom of your feet, it probably is not exzema. Instead it is probably Athletes Foot. I know it sounds gross, but it happens to the best of us. Try using some athletes foot powder on your feet before putting on your socks for the next few days and see what happens. I think you’ll be glad you did.

Light red dry patches on the back of my daughters knees. Could this be eczema?

Alan — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 04:43:34 +0000

The rash is only behind her knees, nowhere else. It isn’t a recent thing either, I noticed it a few months ago and I have been putting Eucerin Cream on it since it was very dry. It has never seemed to bother her, but it’s starting to bother me now. I was wondering if this could be Eczema and if so, do I just let it be, do I keep putting cream on it, or should I see if something can be prescribed for it?

Thank You.

I just found out I have seborrhoeic eczema. Is there any way I could have back my original face again?

Question by lakersforlife: I just found out I have seborrhoeic eczema. Is there any way I could have back my original face again?
It’s not severe, and sometimes you can’t notice it, but it’s noticeable when the skin flakes and turns red on my eyebrows and the sides of my nose. If this a lifetime kind of thing, then what would be the best thing to do?

Answer by J. P
I had that on my nose too. I also get dandruff. But I use head and shoulders and just using the shampoo on my head was enough to get rid of the flakes near my nose.

What is a good soap bar I could use to help me get some relief from eczema?

Alan — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 22:58:43 +0000

I need something perfume free, not to expensive, helps prevent flare-ups (ouch!!!), and overall doesn’t make my skin as dry as a desert.

Any suggestions?

Could not having as many of my antibodies through breast milk cause eczema to apear?

Alan — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 04:39:09 +0000

My son is three months old and about a month ago I started feeding him formula while I was at school and breast feed him when I am home. About two weeks ago he came up with a pretty bad case of eczema, could this be showing up now because he is not getting as many antibodies from my breast milk as he was before or is this just coincidence?
