Everyday Skin Care Tips for Hand Dermatitis (Eczema) Patients



Hand eczema is especially prevalent in housewives, who spend more than average hours in contact with water, washing dishes, doing laundry, and so on. Symptoms include rough callouses, blisters, itching, and tearing; it may be easy to confuse with other illnesses, so if you are experiencing similar symptoms, the best thing to do is to visit a dermatologist right away. Patients who are already receiving treatment, or those of you who fear may catch it for some reason, should adhere to the following skin care tips to prevent further discomfort and for a speedy recovery. In no time, you will end up with soft, smooth and silky hands.

1. Hand washing and moisturizing




  • Wash your hands with lukewarm or cool water.
  • Use light, gentle detergents free scent, color, antibacterials, and preservatives.
  • Liquid soaps generally contain less preservatives (Dove soap is recommended).
  • Pat your hands lightly to dry (especially between fingers).
  • When your hands are halfway dry (within 3 minutes) apply a thick amount of Vaseline or moisturizer.
  • Always keep Vaseline/moisturizer within reaching distance (next to your bed, the TV, in your car, at your desk).
  • Don't dry your hands rigorously with a towel.
  • Don't use too much water and soap.


2. Medication




  • Apply the prescribed medication along with plenty of Vaseline/moisturizer.
  • Sleep with cotton/vinyl gloves on.


3. Working with water




  • Wear vinyl gloves over plastic gloves. (Order should be: hand, cotton gloves, vinyl gloves, rubber gloves)
  • Avoid hot water, and contact for more than 15 minutes.
  • Don't dip your hands in water, and use running water only.
  • Take any rings off.


4. Gloves




Wear gloves in cold or dusty environments. When your work requires a lot of friction, wear leather gloves.

5. Avoid contact with the following (or use vinyl gloves if possible):




  • Shampoo
  • Fruit peels (especially citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges)
  • All kinds of polishes
  • Solvents (white spirit, turpentine etc.)
  • Hair lotion, cream, hair dyes
  • Strong detergents
  • Scented chemical products


6. Strong vinyl/plastic gloves will trigger less allergies than rubber gloves.




Most importantly, remember to visit a dermatologist if you cannot keep your symptoms under control. Good luck!
