Having Eczema on any part of your body can be annoying, but having it on your hands because you use them all the time can be extra annoying. This article will look at some of the cures for eczema on your hands that you can try right at home to help relieve the pain and itching.
Firstly though I need to be honest and let you know that currently there is no medical cure for eczema. But that doesn't mean that you can't clear up any symptoms you have because you can. And any time in the future that you get another outbreak you can use these remedies to clear up your eczema fast.
Ok, so let's get to it.
Most of the time eczema on your hands (atopic hand dermatitis) is due to something you've touched or come into contact with. Usually that's soap, detergents or some sort of chemical. Add to that contact wetting and drying of the hands and you are left with that annoying red itchy rash. That's why it's much more common for new mom's and hospital workers to have it because they are constantly washing them.
If you can find the source of the problem then all you need to do is eliminate touching or using that product, but this is often harder said than done. And of course it may be more than one product as well to make things even more difficult to determine the cause.
Anything that you can do to help improve your immune system such as eating healthy, mild exercise and living a stress free lifestyle will help your body heal itself.
Keeping your hands out of water as much as possible can also really help, as can keeping your hands constantly moisturized. There are many good over the counter products that are specifically made for eczema prone skin or dry sensitive skin which includes the Aquaphor range of creams and ointments.
