Lynette,
I know what your going through. Sorry I couldn't help. This may sound
dumb but have you tried any kind of diaper rash cream. I know that Triple
Paste worked wonders on my kids, if anything its an excellent barrier for
water. Hope you find a remedy .

Maggie,
Thanks for that tip, but the second I put my hands in water the rash turns
into what looks liek hives. They swell and turn beet red.
I did buy mineral oil last week and was using that on my hands, but it did
not help at all.
I am grateful for all of you who are sending tips to help.
Pati, I went to Wal-Mart last night and bought the stocking stuffer type
gloves- 2 pair for $1 I think. I wore one to bed last night. Applied the
Diprolene and slathered Eucerin and this morning it was feeling a little bit
better.
Thanks for that info--I will check it out.
My eczema does get to the point of cracking and bleeding. The one side of my
hand looks like someone took a r azor and sliced me. THAT is a good cut.
Usually they bleed from all the cracks.
I am sure that the product is aggravating it, but I know it is not the cause
of it.
Today I am going to wrap the area in saran wrap and wear the cotton glove to
do my clients. Even if I wear just the glove, the powders from filing will
get t\hrough. I think it is spreading becuause I was wearing
plastic/vinyl/latex gloves. Sheesh, I just cannot win. And I have my trusty
bottle of liquid
Benadryl!!!
I really appreciate all your help!
buenos dias,
Lynnette

Subject: NailTech:: Re: Eczema and topical dermatitis
Hello Ladies,
I have almost the same problem with my hands and
fingers. That is the reason that I stopped doing hair and started to do
nails. My hands and fingers used to get so bad that I had to take days off
of work. My fingers used to swell up and crack so badly t hat I wouldn't be
able to open my fingers sometimes scared that the skin would crack open
and bleed. I finally went to this excellent dermatologist who told me I
had A topic dermatitis. HE gave me a list of things that my hands couldn't
come in contact with, of course chemicals was the first on the list. Along
with a few creams he told me to soak my hands in warm water and this blue
liquid
which he charged me $30 for. This liquid was mineral oil with a blue dye
in it to make it look pretty and expensive. I would soak in it until my
fingers
were soft enough to be able to open my fingers without them cracking. When I
finished that pretty blue liquid I bought a bottle of mineral oil and it did
exactly the same thing. It also made that flakey skin soft enough to be able
to
heal on its own without the use of other meds and creams. Another thing
that helped me was Silicone glove from Avon. I know, I know..Yes I
actually used Avon. I would apply it constantly to build up the layers and
tried
to not use soap if I could. From time to time I get a little reaction from
the
monimer if I come in contact with it so I use the mineral oil straight from
the
bottle and it clears up right away.
Hope
this helps, Maggie

I have
had contact dermatitis for about 30 years. A little over a year ago it
got worse than it ever had in all those years! It got so nasty, I was
scared to go into the Drs., because I was afraid I might lose a finger or
two. I finally went, and he perscribed a new med that I had never used
before, and it did start to heal a llittle, but went right back to
nasty. It was so bad that I had to rub a numbing cream on it to be able
to use my hands or get any sleep. It was one of my clients that said to
me....didnt this start to get bad around the time you tried some new
products
last year? So I dug out my invoices, and sure enough it started when I
had bought Entity. When that was done....TT came out with her A+
liquid, than she came out with another one that was even a darker
purple. At that point I went back to using my TT orig. liquid, which is
almost clear, and it started to heal up. I have a little flair up now
and then, but as long as I do not use a liquid that is purple/blue I am able
to keep it under control. Just a though. Good luck, that
stuff can drive you crazy!!!!

I HATE when that
happens and with this laptop it happens alot! Anyway...don't make light
of what you have.
CVS sells white cotton gloves in a 2pck...I think they
are about 5 bucks....I have about 10 pairs with the fingers cut out if you
want them!! (they have been washed of course!) They come in a box near
the bandages in that aisle....
Hope you feel better soon....

dermatitis
Hey
everyone. I just want to bring this subject to the forefront.
I have had
eczema all my life. In my 20's I found out I had food allergies. I cut most
of the foods out and the rashes subsided. Never went away complete ly but I
had it under control.
The past few weeks have been awful with this rash.
It is all over both my hands. Just putting my hands in water makes the rash
welt. Gloves? Well that is helping the rash spread.
Saturday was the
worst they have ever been. I was paying attention to where the clients held
my hands and they are resting right on the area where the rash is.
I am
NOT going to say it out loud, but I am positive that the products are
aggravating the eczema.
Yesterday the rash began to spread up my wrist.
The itch is driving me nuts. I am sipping liquid Benadryl to help control
it. I think I may become addicted to it!!!!
I had to go to the doctor
today for this. She put me on Prednisone and the strongest topical steroid
available in the US. I am going to run to Wal Mart to see if I can find some
thin cotton gloves. I have a pair from Star Nail, but they are not good
enough.
I know that the chemicals did not cause this, but it is surely
exacerbating the rash. I have never had it this bad, (Pati, I got your
message on FB--- PLEASE know that this is NOTHING compared to what you went
through--I am just "a-bitchin.")
Anyway, just take precautions to help
prevent getting skin rashes. Also, the doctor does not want me to wash all
the time. Water is NOT good for the skin!!!
Take care of your hands.
They are your livelyhood!
buenos
dias,
Lynnette
