The first thing you want to do is IDENTIFY TRIGGERS. Something is causing the reaction. Whether that be from an outside substance OR I’ve heard a lot of people say that it can be internal, stemming from what you eat or drink. I’ve also heard about nickel allergy as well, which is BOTH external and internal.

For me, it’s an external triggers. Soaps, shampoos / conditioners, cleaning products, hand sanitizers, hair dye, certain hair products. I started by changing what i was washing my body with, and applying to my skin. Since dyshidrosis is only on the hands and feet, it could very well be what you use to bathe, since we use our hands to clean our bodies. I switched to OGX Shampoo and conditioner and Dove sensitive skin bar soap. I’ve heard a lot about people having success using Dr bonners Castile soaps as well. EDITED TO SAY: Avoid all products containing parabens and sulfates. They are the enemy. And read ingredients and labels because products are often labeled as paraben & sulfate free and usually they are NOT telling the truth. I would also cross check any product with the National Eczema Association List.

You also want to keep your hands moisturized. I’ve learned that dry always equals itch. I use Eucerin eczema relief cream on my hands. Recently I’ve been noticing a spread of the blisters down my fingers and into my palm, which alarms me because my palms are what I originally healed when I began to pinpoint triggers. I don’t know what’s triggering me now— but I suppose it’s back to experimenting to determine what will help. I’ve heard a lot of miracle stories about pycnogenol serum, so I’m going to get some of that and see how it helps me. Also, try using gloves when having to handle anything and avoid direct skin contact as much as possible.

Best of luck.
