i have this eczema as well and three doctors told me it was ring worms .. well that was total BS… anyway i did some research and yeah i found out what it was
it seems in my condition that it only gets worse when i am stresses ( exams ) and it stress also onsets my seboricca dermatitis . some people say that steroid creams work … i am so embaressed to shake peoples hands now or show my hands to other people . gd luck
Hey you guys, seems like quite a lot of ppl are affected by this eczema… so am I recently… What I think helps is “aluminium chloride hexahydrate 30% solution” mixed in water… you can get it in any pharmacy. I bought it for 8.60 CHF which would be about 10$ i guess for 100ml… This stuff is used in deodorant and keeps sweating away… well so it closes those “bubbles”… my hands look way better than they did 14 days ago.. hope it stays that way… have you guys found a solution yet?
I noticed dyshidrosis for the first time on my foot this past winter…….and just tonight I noticed some small blisters on my fingers. So I started browsing around for information, and I found your video. I hope it won’t flare into something too troublesome, but we’ll see.
went to the dermatologist. He didnt even know what histaglobolin was. he was clueless. Same shit. I’m so fucking tired of this goddamn thing on my hands and feet. Sometimes i just wanna die. How the fuck do u guys put up with this. My whole body itches too
hi, i have this too it seems to be getting steadily worse i dont just get it on my fingers now i have it on the back of my hands and now my feet! the dr gave me some lotion but it doesnt help, nothing seems to help apart from SLS-free soap (sometimes feels like it helps) for my hands, but when i break out badly nothing helps at all, its awful, my hands are a mess now with hard skin from old breakouts
i notice this is quite an old video now have you updated on this subject?
Wow! I have been trying to figure this one our my self . I know the feeling. The only thing that works for me is exfoliating regularly . Hydrating and keep hand from getting dryed out.
i take neoclaritin and the itching stops somewhat. I definately think its an allergic reaction for a lot of us. U guys should look into getting the histaglobulin shots!!!
I’m not positive yet though and this might not be the cause for everyone, just thought i’d share. I’m gonna get a more extensive allergy test and exclude all foods im having a reaction too. I’ll post my results
As an update for anyone interested, I recently took a blood IGe allergy test and tested positive for 8 out of the 10 foods, and 24 out of 26 seasonal/enviornmental. So I’m preety sure it is related to me having all these allergies (mainly food allergies) out of all the foods I tested positive for only one of them makes me sick when I eat it, so kinds hidden allergies.
I have it on my toes, it fucking itches then it starts to blister and burn and turn purple and spreads
I feel your pain man. I have it on my hands mainly. I have tried many steroids (I quickly develop a resistance), carefully controlling diet, 20% hydrogen peroxide with zinc oxide afterwards, with no change to the condition. The one thing that has shown some improvement was a water fast. Probably about a 15-20% improvement. I did it for 5 days, noticed the change and thought it was food. I was wrong. I will probably try the fast again and go longer, but it is difficult and painful.
I know exaclty what its like not having to get up because you seriously cant do anything and i dont know how long it usualy shouls last but i alwas seem to have it about a week and currently do its just horribale and its not only on my hands but all over my legs chest back and i guess im just glad theres none on my face if theres any good ways that anyonw may know to speed up the healing proccess it would be greatly apreaciated
Help? I realized i had little bumps appearing two days ago. today they are on most of my palm and inside and on the sides of my fingers. I have never had this problem before. So i looked it up since i have regular mild eczema. I dont have med insurance since i turned 18 three months ago, anyone know any home remedies?
Thanks i’m going to try that soap
i have it, it only comes up at the start of summer and goes when it gets colder
I’ve been having hand eczema since two years ago. I can’t do anything about it. Everytime if I have beef or spicy food, I feel so itchy on my hand. Please tell me how to get rid off it.
i’ve had this for about a year now and its so annoying. i love to wash my hands a lot so that doesn’t help. I have it on my feet now as well. I was prescribed clobetasol steroid cream. That only help a bit but it doesn’t stop it from coming back. i did a google search and histoglubin supposely helped 70% of patients from getting it back. I’m gonna look into that
i also had dyshidriotic eczema in my hands for almost a decade now..my latest derma prescribed me SPORANOX capsule (to kill fungus first) then,travocort cream twice a day for the first week then once a day for the 2nd week..my hands is improving now…
I have this too!! But, I love it. Seriously. I don’t have it that bad, but I love popping the little bumps when they come up. I get a new bump every couple weeks – I love it when I find one, and then have a little party to pop it.
Seriously. I think there’s something wrong with my mind.
One more thing. Only wear white socks (another crazy part about it). Fabrick coloring can be an irritant.
I HAD the same problem. I never had it until 2 years ago. It turned out to be some of the materials in my shoe. Tennis shoes to be specific. If you havent tried it, wear only leather shoes (not black in color). Make sure it doesnt have foam on the inside, only real leather. Leather soles, etc. Wear it for about 2 months. Important.You cant wear tennis shoes at all. If you do, you could screw up your test results
..I know it sounds crazy, but I swear to god it worked for me. You dont understand how much better my condition is. I have worn tennis shoes all my life, then all of a sudden I couldnt wear them. I wear them occasionally, but only to exercise. Dont wear them during the testing period. Exercise in your socks or bare feet.
Good luck. I hop I help somebody.
Yeah, totally agree about the shampoo thing. I got patch tests done and discovered that I had an allergy to a chemical in most shampoos – cocoprydimol betaine I think it’s called. Ive had hand ezcema all my life and I’m 27 now. Getting a new oral drug called toctino this week which is supposed to be some wonderdrug…has the customary side-effects though.
i have dyshidrosis. I have a chronic condition. When i have an outbreak i cannot drive, write, wash dishes, things like that as well. It itches and is horribly uncomfortable at first then later begins crack open and all that. It hurts badly. I heard only 10-20 people out of 100,000 people have this. That is what my doctor said. dont know how to message but hope u read this
I was on Prednisone for a while and mine went away but came back after..
And the effects of Prednisone might not be worth it.. : [
