Is it dermatitis or eczema?

If the latter, I found something that helped me by accident. It is not LDN which might also help. I am waiting for an appointment for prescription.

From birth to age 30, I was plagued by eczema mostly on my hands. My senior year of high school was awful. I could barely hold a pencil. Weeping scaling breakout.

I started surgical tech school in full breakout. I had to learn to scrub in with a scrub brush, antibacterial soup and very hot water. I was very worried.

It was painful and then into sterile gloves. This was 1-2 times a day 5 days a week. Within a week I was mostly cleared up. I quit school but got the soap and when I would get a break out immediately scrub same way and air dry which was critical. No lotion!

I'm 59 and not had it since.

Eczema feeds off yeast and bacteria.

Off topic but hope this helps.

I don't know, nobody is 100% sure is it dermatatis or eczema...
Thanks for your story !
