Help! My hands are so bad....?

Question

I have a mild case of eczema. When they are in water for more then 2 minutes they get really dry. As of now I put Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion on them and use Cotton Gloves. But even that is starting not to work. The skin around my finger nails is peeling away. My nails grow like crazy and if I don't cut them they drive me crazy. Its all due to the eczema. It's been about a year since I've had itchy hands. I use to itch them so bad that they would bleed and get blisters. I've also been getting the eczema on my feet in the past year. That really bothers me. I always took my socks off at bed time, but now I have to wear socks 24/7 my feel are so bad, they are always dried out. I just don't know what to do. I just moved to Okinawa Japan (my husband is in the Air Force). For those of you who don't know, its an Island. So I'll be in the water a lot and I'm worried that my hands and feet will get worse. HELP!!!!

Answer 1

I wish I could give you product names, but your best choice, living out of country and all, is a zinc ointment, something from a tube, which can't hurt you and most probably will help your situation radically right away. Hopefully so anyway. Then check with your husband's medical facilities at the hospital there in Okinawa--where they are sure to have skin specialists that can help your condition.

Answer 2

My son get eczema really bad, and we tried everything from Dr Rx to gold balm, and nothing seemed to work. I was desperate so my last resort was this product freederm and is was like a God-sent, he is better. Here is the website:

Not really, you where probably nervous and the hands have a tremendous amount of blood vessels, this is to vent heat through the hands like a radiator.

Go to the dermatoligist. He/she can prescribe a powerful ointment to alleviate and eliminate it. However, eczema can come back at anytime due to allergies, being wet, etc....
