Hand Eczema

I have been washing my hand frequently and my hands are starting to crack open. The weather is no help. I just use this prescription medicine that the doctor has given me and hope it will heal up soon. I end up wearing bandaids so it don't hurt so bad.

" Try the hand creme (its called Helping Hand) from Lavish. I swear by their products-- they have brought such relief to my skin. It should stop the cracks for sure and soothe the pain from the dryness. Look at it online www.lavishproducts.com
Hope your skin feels better soon and try to resist washing unless you absolutely have to. "

" There are many good Moisturizing skin products on the market.. I just tried Aveeno lotion which contains menthol and targets extra dry and itchy skin... It has been working pretty well for me. So if you need a reasonable priced good lotion, that would be my recommendation. Hope your hands get better soon. "

" i'll put my 2 cents in. Cetphil cream in the 1 lb tub is the best i've found. Avoid lotions with scents because the scent means alcohol...which doesn't make sense if u are trying to moisturize! "

New breakthrough technology safely and effectively treats dry, irritated, red, itchy skin without steroids.

If you're using heavy, greasy creams, you already know they don't work. TriCeram is the only moisturizer clinically proven to alleviate symptoms and rebuild the skin's barrier in 21 days. Give your skin the natural lipids it needs to repair itself.

Unlike petrolatum and mineral oil based moisturizers that artificially coat the skin, TriCeram contains a unique combination of natural lipids that allows the skin to heal itself. This unique formulation is based on Osmotics’ patented BRT™ Barrier Repair Technology clinically proven to repair and restore healthy barrier function (your skin's natural moisture barrier). This patented technology was developed by leading dermatologists at The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

TriCeram is completely safe for long-term use and safe for all skin types, including sensitive. The key lipids used in TriCeram are the very same lipids that occur naturally in the skin, which dramatically reduces skin sensitivity and irritation.
