COMMON CAUSES OF HAND ECZEMA

Wear vinyl or plastic gloves for work that requires you to have your hands in water. Also, wear gloves when your hands will be exposed to anything that can irritate your skin. Wear cotton gloves under plastic gloves to soak up sweat from your hands. Take occasional breaks and remove your gloves to prevent a buildup of sweat inside your gloves.
Wear gloves when you go outside during the winter. Cold air and low humidity can dry your skin, and dryness can make your eczema worse.

Common skin irritants include:
Lemons and other citrus fruit
Potatoes
Household chemicals
detergents

Eczema Treatment and Research

The many symptoms that mimic eczema and the many skin conditions with symptoms similar to eczema can make the diagnosis of eczema difficult.

Eczema is used to describe all kinds of red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, thickened, and itching skin conditions. Eczema is associated with dry, rough, red, itchy, skin dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding.

Atopic dermatitis is related to asthma and hay fever-type allergies, and is often seen in early childhood. This type of acne-related condition is characterized by a speedy distribution of reddish irritation that can be prickly, swollen and erupted. The eyelids, neck and hands are most commonly affected in adults.

Perioral Dermatitis is an acne-like inflammation generally consists of small red bumps or even pus bumps and mild peeling as the skin is extremely aggravated. It is believed that topical steroids, residue from asthma inhalers t containing steroids, cinnamon, lipstick, lip balms, cosmetics, toothpaste and even moisturizers contribute to perioral dermatitis.

Milia sometimes referred to as milk spots or oil seeds, are benign, keratin-filled cysts that can appear just under the skin. These little white bumps, or milia, are keratin-filled cysts, or simply little globs of protein under the skin. Milia can be mistaken for stubborn acne whiteheads.To reduce creating milia around the eyes, use eye creams with the least amount of ingredients possible to avoid irritating the delicately thin eye area. Also, gently touch the eyes and avoid rubbing the eyes vigorously so as not to damage the skin

In its classic symptoms rosacea is patchy flushing (redness) and inflammation, particularly on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and around the mouth.

The butterfly rash of lupus can also lead to a mis-diagnosis of eczema. A common symptom of lupus includes a red rash or color change on the face, often in the shape of a butterfly across the nose and cheeks, which can be mistaken for rosacea.

Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms.

The International Eczema-Psoriasis Foundation

Our skin is often perceived as the window to who we are. It is only human to judge others by their appearance; therefore we are often identified by our skin condition or imperfections, or even the color of our skin. The largest human organ isn't the liver, the kidneys or the lungs; it's the skin. Our skin is our front line protection against the outside world. The skin guards our internal organs against sunburn, dirt, bacteria, and other dangers. As our body's largest organ, the skin is also the first to react to change. A number of factors can affect the skin.

The mission of the International Eczema-Psoriasis Foundation is to gather in one place information pertinent to eczema and psoriasis and to make the information helpful and easy to read and implement. The information provided has been found on in medical books and the web, and Dermatological Journal articles about the 156 various forms of dermatitis, and the 10 major terms describing eczema, and the six major terms describing psoriasis. Many dermatologist intermix the terms of eczema and psoriasis. We do not provide medical advice as you should always consult your dermatologist to diagnose the symptom that you are experiencing.

Eczema-Ltd: Understanding and Treating Eczema Craquele

Eczema Craquele has a tendency to flare in winter and appears on the legs, arms, and hands. Asteatotic eczema is defined as dry, cracked, fissured skin and redness. Large dry scales may form on the skin giving a "crazy-paving" appearance to the skin. Fair-skinned, sensitive or elderly people who bathe a lot in hot showers or tubs are at risk to develop Asteatotic eczema. Moisturizing the skin regularly and switching from soap to a cleansing bar for dry sensitive skin such as Neutrogena transparent facial bar for dry skin formula - fragrance free, Dove that has been known for years for use on sensitive skin.

Molecules in Skin Link Eczema and Asthma

In a study appearing in the May 19 in the journal PLoS Biology, research as shown below indicates that skin conditions such as acne, eczema, dermatitis and rosacea are in fact triggered as a result of an immune system response. A substance secreted by eczema-damaged skin might trigger asthma in children, U.S. researchers suggest. The theory comes from a study of mice with an eczema-like condition, which suggested that early treatment of eczema and inhibition of the trigger substance might help prevent asthma.

An estimated 50 percent to 70 percent of children with severe eczema (known as atopic dermatitis) develop asthma, compared with about 9 percent of children in the general population. In the United States, about 17 percent of children have eczema, although not all cases are severe.

The progression from eczema to asthma is called the atopic march. "Over the years, the clinical community has struggled to explain atopic march," Raphael Kopan, a professor of developmental biology and dermatology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and an author of the study, said in a news release from the school.

"So, when we found that the skin of mice with an eczema-like condition produced a substance previously implicated in asthma, we decided to investigate further," Kopan said. "We found that the mice also suffered from asthma-like responses to inhaled allergens, implicating the substance, called TSLP, as the link between eczema and asthma."

The researchers found that TSLP (thylmic stromal lymphopoietin) is secreted by damaged skin to alert the body that the skin's protective barrier has failed. TSLP activates an immune response that fights invaders. "We are excited, because we've narrowed down the problem of atopic march to one molecule," Kopan said. "We've shown that skin can act as a signaling organ and drive allergic inflammation in the lung by releasing TSLP. Now, it will be important to address how to prevent defective skin from producing TSLP. If that can be done," she said, "the link between eczema and asthma could be broken."

Over the counter acne treatments are often too strong and strip the skin of its protective barrier layer causing the skin to produce more oil as to repair and replenish the protective barrier destroyed by contact with harsh chemicals often found in acne treatments.

The skin is a protective barrier between our body organs and outside bacteria, pollution and disease. In fact it is a complex system of action and reaction. When TSLP (thylmic stromal lymphopoietin) is secreted by damaged skin to alert the body that the skin's protective barrier has failed, the TSLP activates an immune response that fights invaders. Skin conditions such as rosacea, acne, and eczema partially result from an overly acidic body and skin.

ITCHY PALMS – SIGN OF MONEY OR ECZEMA

According to an old wives tale, nearly every bodily sensation or skin condition has an explanation. One such tale involves itchy palms. The tale states: if the palm of your right hand is itching, you’ll soon be coming into money. But if you scratch your right hand while it is itchy, it'll prevent the money from coming your way. If your palm of your left hand is itchy, this foretells that you will be paying money to someone, and you should scratch away to do get rid of or lower the payments.

In reality an itchy palm usually has to do with a nervous system or allergic response. Hand eczema is a contact condition. The hands come in contact with a substance resulting in sensitivity. Prevention and avoidance can be a powerful treatment.

Should you refrain from scratching your right hand or even your left hand when it itches? The answer is yes. Eczema occurs as a result of an immune system response to an irritant either through contact, inhalation or ingestion. The body activates an immune system response often resulting in a flushed appearance, a rash, or welts on the skin.

As unusual as these old wives tales may sound, there are people who believe in them, and these theories are still being spread today from generation to generation. Just as outdated treatments for an itchy palm continue to be considered the standard if treatment. Among the many outdated treatments are Coal tar.  Coal tar has been used for many years to treat psoriasis and it has few side effects. However, it does not work for everyone. In addition to being messy to use, it has a strong odor and can stain skin and clothing. It can cause sun sensitivity, and may irritate acute eczema.

A few years ago, primrose oil was touted as a topical therapy for hand eczema, but it later was shown not to work. In November 1998, an American Medical Association journal, Archives of Dermatology, published a report listing several other plant extracts being used for skin conditions similar to eczema: calendula officinalis (marigold); chamomile; witch hazel; licorice root; and aloe vera gel. Unfortunately, a history of use doesn't necessarily translate to a history of effectiveness. Indeed, some of these substances, or their vehicle gel/lotion, may worsen your condition.
