If you didn’t see it I posted my hand last week that everyone was suitably horrified at (https://www.reddit.com/r/Dyshidrosis/s/YZD8a8twSL) a lot of people suggested steroids, which unfortunately I can’t use lol so that does really limit me. Someone commented about zinc oxide bandages which reminded me I had nappy cream which has zinc oxide as its active ingredient, so essentially every day/night I have been lathering my hands in it and wearing cotton gloves almost always. Also have done multiple salt water soaks too. It’s not 100% there but it’s so much better I can’t believe it! The key was drying those blisters as much as possible.

I also figured out what likely triggered it so avoiding that helped too. Turned out there’s citrus peel oil in my shower gel which can be really irritable to sensitive skin! even though my shower gel is for sensitive skin!!

Thank you all for your help!!

I’ve had it mildly before but never this bad. I can feel every bump when I touch things :(
