i have eczema too, its fucking shit isnt it... mine has got better as i get older. only get it on my arms now... cant use soap or shampoo, in winter it generally gets worse, find the sun does wonders... peeling potatoes puts me in agony so i avoid it
when i was younger it was so bad i couldnt bend my legs or ankles some days... hope to fuck my unborn child doesnt get it
anyone who doesnt have it doesnt understand how much it can be torture... teachers saying stop scratching... I FUCKING CANT YOU CUNT

might sound stupid my little brother suffers with it and the doctor gave him some thing to put in the back and it cleard it up straight away it makes the water look greacy as anything but you could perhaps just wash your hands with it ill try and find out what its called

Archie, I went to the occ health nurse that came in and showed her dry skin I've got - her advice was a pair of cotton gloves like a snooker ref then your rubber gloves over them to help the skin breath. Fuck that malarky tbh but apparently that gets rid

i have really bad eczema on my hands and inside of my elbows and knees, i have been using a cream a friend advised and tbh its cleared the eczema up on my hands a treat its called betamethasone use it before bed and when you get up use it sparing though as its a steriod cream it will make your skin thin and through the day make sure you keep your hands moisturised if possible

Oilatum makes the bath very slippy, not good with a preggers mrs. It also sits on top of the water the clings to your skin and burns.... And makes me itchy as hell

That wouldnt work for me, even wearing a second pair of gloves over the top makes it fiddly to do certain jobs and makes my hands sweat like fuck.
Took some pics of them, given they arent at worst just now.
