How to cure eczema on hand?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Control Measures: Eczema is an atopic skin reaction caused by your own immune system. It is not cured, but controlled. Control measures include avoidance of skin allergens and irritants (use nondetergent/fragrant and dye-free products), regular use of hypoallergenic skin emollients, and topical corticosteroid creams for more sever cases.

Protect: Avoid things that make you break out, soaps & wetness. Wash your hands only when necessary. Wear gloves when needed. Wear clothes made of cotton. Bathe only with a small amount of mild unscented soap, such as dove. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot. Use the medicine your doctor gave you. Use a plain moisturizer daily. Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy area. Manage stress.
