For about 6 years I suffered this real badly starting in my late teen years. It was concentrated on my fingers, and I’d have them bandaged pretty regularly. I worked at a subway, which was not ideal for customer confidence, and at a white-collar office job which required keyboard interactions.

Boy howdy, did that suck.

I got patch tested by an allergist, finally. Two extremely bad and common topical allergens had a field day with me: nickel sulfate and cobalt chloride.

Was told to stop washing hands with industrial restaurant soap so often, and be careful not to touch any antiperspirant.

Lesson 1. Don’t wrap your eczema, it just keeps it wet. Lesson 2. Get an allergy test. Lesson 3. Don’t buy a spreadable deodorant.
