hand eczema: You need to see a dermatologistwho can prescribe a cortisone ointment for your hands.In addition you should try to wash your hands as infrequently as possible and use a mild soap such as cetaphil, dove or basis. There is no cure for this only a treatment. Remember to wear gloves when doing the dishesand wear a pair of thin cotton gloves underneath the rubber gloves.

Probably pompholyx: This sounds like pompholyx ( dyshidrotic eczema ), although fungal infection or other conditions may also be the cause. Recommend you see a physician or dermatologist for definitivediagnosis and treatment. Treating yourself with steroids without physician guidance may be ineffective or harmful. Look up "pompholyx" on the web, or try this: http://www.patient.co.uk/health/pompholyx-leaflet
