My Sisters Exzema

[eczemalad1]

My sister has exzema between her fingers and finds it really hard to do normal day-to-day things, e.g. wash up (she wears washing up gloves but they irritate her) she also finds it hard to write and type when her exzema is bothering her, she has tried a number of creams and pills but it doesnt seem to work, can anyone recnmmend any remedies which i could buy for her to help her?

any drug store should carry it, if not it is available online

good luck to both of you :)

She said thankyou so much, can she just buy it from a pharmacy or is it a special shop? thankyou,
best wishes

there is a hand cream called theraseal. you wash your hands, then put on lotion, then put it over that. what it does is work like rain x, if you've ever heard of that, or like a temporary glove. it keeps the moisture in her skin and the bad stuff away.

the water will bead up and run off when it is on, when it stops making water bead it is time to put some more on. it is available over the counter and i think it helps alot. i have hand eczema and use it myself.

also, cotton gloves( even though they get hot) with a very heavy moisturizing cream at night can help it.
