Eczema - Clobetazol - Cracked Itchy Hands
I am 28 years old an have married two years ago.
I have had eczema in my hands from my childhood. But after marriage it got more severe and
I used Clobetazol cream for treatment. But it got worse and now I have a
very very dry and thin skin and I can not use any moisturizing cream. My hands are always
cracked accompanied by itching. May you guide me what can I do to have more thick skin in
my hands and what can I use to moisten my hands for a few hours ? - Sanaz

Answer #SK040 - Eczema - Clobetazol - Cracked Itchy Hands
My hands were just like you had described. I
work as a nurse and am washing my hands constantly which was painful. Putting lotion on
stung too. After many prescription creams, I tired Halobetasol. It has
been a lifesaver. It is a strong steriod cream so use sparingly. I found a huge
improvement even after one application. Good luck! I know what you're going through. -

Careful!!! Cortisone (steroids) causes thinning of the skin!!!!

Question #SK042 - Eczema - Scalp
My mom had exema and when I was born hers
stopped and I had it on my ear and belly button. When I had my daughter, mine stopped and
she has it on her hands. It's now 13 years later and it's started on my ear again, but,
the distressing thing is it's on my scalp now. I wake in the morning with huge chunks of
moist scalp bits in my hair. I must be scratching at night. Are there any shampoos or
products that anyone knows of in Canada? Help..it's really gross! - Sandra, Ottawa

Answer #SK042 - Eczema - Scalp
Check with your local pharmacy to see if this is
available in Canada: Scalpicin. Anti-dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis,
psoriasis liquid. "Helps Stop Deep Scalp Itch". It's a clear liquid, odorless,
and you can take it with you and use it anytime, anywhere. Not expensive, either.
Available in any U.S. drugstore, over the counter. By: Combs, Inc. White Plains, N.Y.
10604. It is basically 3.0% Salicylic Acid (same ingridient as aspirin) in a little
alcohol and mostly water. Maybe you can find an equivalent. Not much to it, but it sure
works.

on page one about "Skin Zinc." The same ingredient in Skin Zinc is in
over-the-counter Head & Shoulders Shampoo. We've used the "daily use" 1%
Head & Shoulders as a lotion instead of a shampoo & have seen some amazing
results. - Editor

Answer #SK043 Eczema - Tattoo
I think you've answered your own question.
Eczema skin is hypersensitive. Colorings used in tattoos can be allergenic. Plus, the
needle is "attacking" the skin during the process, which could set up an immune
response. In persons with eczema, this could in some cases be disastrous. You won't know
until you've tried it. Then it's too late. - Ed

Answer #SK043 Eczema - Tattoo
I have relatively severe excema and didn't have
any trouble with my tattoo. As someone else mentioned above, fragrance free lotion for
sensitive skin is advised, but I think that's the case for any tattoo. - Rachel, Madison

Answer #SK043 Eczema - Tattoo
I am female, 32 yrs old. I have several tattoos
and want more, but I have recently developed a mild case of Eczema. It is mostly on my
upper arms, but I also have a patch on the back of my neck and between my breasts. I
wanted to get a tattoo on my arms to cover the patches there, but my tattoo artist said
that the skin could get "RIPPED" and/or cause the Eczema to spread! So now I am
re-thinking all that. Anyway, I just wanted to share that info. - Flutter, GA

Question #SK044 Eczema - Hands & Feet
I had excema over 10 years now, and it is still
there. It is over my feet,
and my hands. It looks very nasty. It's red, and the patches on my feet and my hands are
wrinkly. I'm only 18 years old, and it looks like my hands are 50 years old. I don't know,
I'm stubbborn. I use hot water to ease the itch, but at night while I'm sleeping I
scratch, which leads to cuts, and rashes. IT'S HIDEOUS. PLEASE HELP ME. My excema is
improving, but how do I get the youthful hands, which I've not seen yet. Is there a cure,
by doing surgery? PLEASE HELP ME. - Joanna

Answer #SK044 Eczema - Hands & Feet
As you can see, by just reading through this
forum, that there seems to be no "cure" for eczema. Try covering your hands in
Vaseline & wear white "pallbearers" gloves to bed. Olive oil seems to
relieve itching, too. - JP

Answer #SK044 Eczema - Hands & Feet
I have had severe eczema for the whole 19 years
of my life. The best treatment for the itchiness is to NOT use hot water, it is the worst
thing for eczema, luke warm or cold compresses will ease the itch. use non allergenic
lotion on your hands, make sure there are no fragrances at all. Also do not use fraganced
soap, DOVE soap is the best to use. Just remember HEAT will make the eczcema worse. Once
you ease the itch and keep the affected areas moisturized the eczema will be easier to
control. - Sara, TX

Eczema Relief Cracked Skin Ears
Go to a dermatologist. That's the best advice I can give.
They may be able to provide you with some steroid creams that help reduce the excema.
Right now I have betamethasone dipropionate ointment. It seems to work great. - Mandie, NE
