Facts About Eczema

Housewife's Hand Eczema: People who are constantly using dishwashing liquids, detergents, household cleaners, and shampoos often damage the skin on their hands. The skin becomes dry, rough and reddened, particularly over the knuckles. It may thicken, crack, flake and itch. A similar type of eczema occurs among people whose hands are exposed to irritant chemicals on their jobs. Make sure that you wear gloves when doing these things. If your employer doesn't have these available to you be sure you ask and let them know that they are required to provide these for you. Also it is a good idea to use a moisturizing soap. I have my hands it water alot making Nichols Soap N Stuff Products. I keep a bottle of the liquid soap by the sink and use it often even if I'm going to get them in the water again. It has Emu Oil in it and it keeps the hand from drying out after doing dishes etc. http://cgi.ebay.com/Liquid-Soap-Shower-Gel-with-Emu-Oil_W0QQitemZ220055417732QQihZ012QQcategoryZ31754QQcmdZViewItemThen I apply the Emu Lotion when I'm done. I try to wear gloves when at all possible.

The next form of eczema is IRRITANT ECZEMA: The skin of an elderly person tends to be dry, particularly on the legs. This can lead to mild redness, flaking and irritation.

DYSHIDROSIS: In this type of eczema, itchy blisters erupt on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Some of the blisters may burst and weep, and the surrounding areas may become inflamed and tender. Other blisters do not burst, but die down to form a flat brown spot under the skin. An attack of this type usually lasts two to four weeks and then clears up of it's own accord, though attacks tend to recur. The same treatments are recommended. But I have found that healing ointment: http://cgi.ebay.com/Emu-Oil-Healing-Ointment-1-oz-Jar_W0QQitemZ220097609606QQcategoryZ1279QQcmdZViewItem
tends to heal the blisters faster because it heals from the inside out. The real risk is if the blisters burst and become infected. The healing ointment has tea tree oil that is a natural Australian antiseptic.
