Well I know what you are going through just not on my hands or feet, I have it under my eyes and and in my eyebrows... sometimes on my shoulders. But it kills and it is constantly flared up everyday. But after reading about the skin zinc I think I'm gonna look into that too. Hope it works!!!

There is a skin test called the patch test where an allergist places small amount of various allergens in a grid on your back. Those areas that get red shows what you are allergic to. I would be worried that you are allergic to natural rubber and latex. Remember socks have rubber as the elastic. Remember eczema is inflammatory dry skin. After you shower dry off where you are still damp and place Vasoline over the inflamed areas. the vasoline will trap the moisture in your skin and will give you some relief until you can get tested. For gloves try Nitrile. They are more expensive but do not have rubber. What kind of work do you do?

my daughter went through the tests described above earlier this year.her pediatrician sent her to a allergy specialist.
it took maybe 30 minutes in the drs office for them to complete.
they found out she was allergic to dairy of all things....
your doc should be able to get you scheduled somewhere for the tests if he cant do the tests himself.
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Thanks for the info guys! And shore hunter thanks for that tid bit there. I just got to thinking bout it i havnt had much for dairy products in a while and my flare ups have almost completly gone away. Every once in a while i will get a flare up on my feet but figured out the cause of that recently. Have to keep the xtra tuffs off until i need them. Once again thanks!

Any one going through the same pain as me? This may not work on your type of eczema and im not recommending it per se, but i used to always have a flare up of winter eczema on my left hand every fall & winter. A few years ago i started taking the oil from a duck oil gland on their back just above the tail. This is a little oil tuft of feather coming out of a gland. Its what the rubon their feathers to waterproof and condition. I put it on about twice a week for a couple of weeks and ive never had it again. Ymmv

After not having one flare up this year I am wondering it was getting into rat trapping that did it ?
I wear gloves on all other animals except rats. Hands never softer and no flare up. Conincidance ???
