What to do about ezcema on palm of hand?
I have had eczema on my face for the past 7 years. I was desperate to get rid of it.





After we moved and I stopped eating at my favorite Japanese restaurant, it went away. Then I started using a new skin lotion and it came back. What was in the lotion? Seaweed. That is how I found my allergy. I haven't had eczema since I cut it out of my diet.





My friend removed dairy from her diet (she also has it on her hands) and hers went away completely.





When did you start getting the eczema. Did you start eating something or using a new product? If you think that an allergy is causing your skin condition, try removing it for a couple of weeks and see if your hands improve.





In the meantime,try cetaphil for washing your hands. I found it to be the least irritating of all the cleansers. Its extremely gentle and you can carry a small container in your purse or bag for washing your hands out in public.





Good luck.

Since you have a latex allergy, have you been handling something new since you started to get the eczema on your hands? New hand cream? Perhaps some of the following natural foods are in your shampoo or hand soaps.





"Curiously, certain fruits such as bananas, chestnuts, kiwi fruit, avocado and tomato show cross-reactivity, perhaps because of resemblance to a latex protein component..... (read on in the article below)

Reply:I've never actually heard of a case of eczema in the palms, but probably before sleeping, putting on an eczema specific ointment to clear it up would take care of it.

My niece had it on her neck and she got rid of it by applying a natural juice called mangosteen.

Reply:I have this problem sometimes too. It is caused by contact allergies to one substance or another. Actually what works the best is a cream with cortizone in it, such as Cortaid. You can get this over the counter. You might try to find out what substance that you are allergic to and avoid them, for me it was latex gloves and hair gels or hair products that contain alcohol (you put it in your hands and rub it in your hair....I wasn't washing my hands good enough....) Good Luck to you....
Reply:I have it on the back of my hand, so I know what you mean. Eucerin Calming Creme really works. I could actually see a visible difference in 1 day!
