I’ve had mild eczema for the past ten years or so on a couple fingers. The right pinky, the skin between the pinky and ring finger and the section behind my right thumb. Usually it’s triggered by harsh soaps (i.e. public soap dispensers), chemicals when i worked on my cars and now hand sanitizers. I think the hand washing orientation allows soap to naturally flow downwards towards the pinky and maybe I’m in a rush and don’t rinse it all sometimes? Same with hand sanitizers running down the hand.
I also use glysomed nightly on those spots and if I get lazy and miss a couple nights it usually flares up a little. I had topical steroid cream prescribed in my twenties but I found it made the skin thinner, although it was effective. Now I wear cotton glove liners inside work gloves if I’m doing garden work or working on the car. Helps a little against abrasion and chemicals and also because the sweat inside the glove also seems to trigger it.
