dishydrotic eczema

[Guest guest]

:

This may not help but my DH had dishydrotic eczema, it just appeared on all his

fingers one day for no apparent reason (nothing new or different going on with

his hands, no gloves, etc. ?????), then it just sort of went away with no

treatment or anything. Mysterious.?He's the type to never get sick, no

allergies, etc., no idea where this came from but it is gone now.

I know that doesn't help but I thought I'd throw it in just to let you know some

people get it for no apparent reason and then they are lucky enough that it can

go away in the same manner! At the time I wondered if it wasn't an allergic

reaction to picking weeds or something along those lines.

RE: Re: hand sanitizer

We used to not use anti-bacterial soap because of the resistance issue-we

were told by our doctors not to. BUT after 5 or 6 bouts of cellulitis and

several hospitalizations for cellulitis, they told us that we needed to use

antibacterial soap when the boys bathed to help reduce the number of

bacteria on their skin and hopefully decrease the number of times they

develop cellulitis.

Cellulitis can turn into a blood infection and sepsis quickly-and sepsis can

cause organ failure and death..so we opted to go with using antibacterial

soap when they shower/bathe. I do think about the resistance issue-yet at

the same time, we've had scrapes and cuts turn into cellulitis in 24 hrs .

We also have found that using alcohol on the cuts helps-a lot! It burns,

but it has reduced the number of skin infections.

Peace be with you,

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.

What we need is to love without getting tired. ~Mother

> Are these beneficial for our kids? Everytime someone does an

" investigative report " on tv, they report that families who use

regular soap have less infections than those who use the

anti-bacterial soaps. The reason given is that the anti-bacterial

soaps are helping creating resistant bacteria. Why would this be good

for an ID child/family?

That does help and give me hope that this may not be a additional

lifelong condition. Thank you so much!!!

Has anyone here had to deal with dishydrotic eczema? I have it on my feet and

two of my fingers. Very painful! So far, I have tried 3 different steroid

cremes but they haven't helped.
