You want to avoid a doctors visit but how would you like to avoid eczema for good? It is usually triggered by an allergy. You can be allergy tested with one bloodtest and find out what is causing it, then just avoid and you will not have another break out.
The test is called Immunocap and is available for all physicians to order. It is usually covered by all insurances and Quest Diagnostic Labs does the testing.
I just figured I would offer a cure instead of a bandaid.

Consult with your physician. You’ll need to consult with your family doctor to establish the type of hand eczema you’re currently suffering from. This will allow your doctor to better treat your condition.
#
Step 2

Apply a corticosteroid cream, like Temovate, on your hands each day. This prescription medication cream is commonly used for most types of eczema that affect the hands. What it does is essentially speed up the process of healing and treat the dryness and cracking that may occur during a flare-up.
#
Step 3

Wrap each hand in a cool, moistened washcloth. According to the Mayo Clinic, wrapping the hands in a moistened cloth can actually increase the efficacy of the cream and reduce both itching and blistering (which is common in dyshidrotic eczema).
#
Step 4

Start taking an antihistamine. Sometimes, your doctor may recommend that you start using an antihistamine as an adjunct treatment for hand eczema. This type of over-the-counter medication can help to eliminate the itchy sensation you’re currently feeling on your hands.
#
Step 5

Moisturize your hands with a fragrance-free hand lotion. Anytime you wash or wet your hands, you should thoroughly and gently dry them, and then apply a hand moisturizer.
#
Step 6

Swap out all your soaps and detergents for milder versions of the same product. Sometimes, soaps and detergents can worsen hand eczema, so you should consider switching out all these types of products for those that do not contain harsh chemicals, perfumes or dyes.
#
Step 7

Humidify your home. While using a humidifier won’t necessarily treat your hand eczema, it can change your environment for the better by adding more moisture to the air. Really, this is more of a concern during the winter months, but it’s a good practice to get into.

My brother had ezcema, and the dr told us just to change the detergent we wash his clothes in, and make sure he doesnt go near a lot of dust. Also, he had to stay naked for a day while all of his clothes were washed twice. We also bathed him, and then rubbed him with vasaline, and covered him with baby powder. He got better. I hope this helps

I found one called Dermarest for Eczema that seems to work pretty well. The only store I can find it at is K-mart. And it’s not that expensive.
