Our hands is probably one of the most important parts of our body because not only they are always exposed, they are also important especially if when it comes to performing regular, day to day tasks. On the other hand, there were some skin conditions that greatly affect our hands that leave us to feeling embarrassed and may take toll on our self-esteem that exposing them could be a very hard thing to do.
One of the conditions that I am talking about are eczema on hands that not only leave us with a feeling of itchiness and dryness but also could trigger unsightly appearances like scabs, bumps, redness, and scales. However, here are some tips to help you manage your eczema on hands and also on other parts of your body that would greatly help and somehow make the appearance and the symptoms disappear.
Manage Your Eczema
It has been known that detergents are one of those things that you should avoid especially when you have eczema not only on the hands but also on other parts of your bodies. That is why it is important that when you have eczema on hands, you should avoid hand washing your delicate fabrics and just leave the task to the washing machine or someone else who is equipped to perform the task.
Another thing that you could do when it comes to managing your eczema on hands and other parts of your body is to avoid contact with irritants especially those harmfully formulated cleaners that you use to clean your tubs, sinks, and your bathroom or kitchen. If possible and if you are really not allergic to it, you may wear hypoallergenic gloves to perform such tasks or just again, leave it to somebody else for you to totally avoid these allergens.
On top of that, what you may want to do is also avoid harsh soaps even the ones that you use for bathing when you have eczema on hands and on other parts of your body. What you may want to do is to ask your physician to recommend a brand that would not trigger your skin allergy and would be gentle on your skin.
Lastly, you could use lubricating lotions or creams to help manage your eczema on hands to somehow moisturize your dry skin and relieve the itchiness that you are feeling. When it comes to choosing a lotion, choose a product that is especially formulated to relieve dryness and itching that is for eczema.
