Hand dermatitis: Eczema, unlike fungal or bacterial diseases, is a chronic condition. Tbis lroblem comes from the inside and at this time, therapies only control, not cure this condition.

Eczema hands: You probably already know these things but... 1. Don't over wash hands 2. Avoid all hand sanitizers 3. Avoid all hand lotions 4. Use gloves when washing dishes/cleaning 5. Lubricate hands daily with the thickest ointment you can tolerate (vaseline is best) 6. Several nights per week coat your hands with ointment and wear cotton gloves overnight. 7. See if your doc can prescribe a compounded med.
