any other lotions I should try ?
Started 10 yrs ago only on 1 finger. as time went on, it's slowly spread. 10 yrs later, it's on 4 fingers now. GP said it's ezcema. looking it up online, might be mild Hydrosis. flares up when season changes, and from irritants.

Recent heat might be making hands more sweaty/clammy, so acting up more. I've noticed it as well. In fact, i've seen a couple spots up the hand/arm these past weeks.

Things I do:
-use hydrating soap
-Eucerin hand cream for when it acts up
-lotion to moisturize when dry, but watch what you use, cause it might end up irritating the skin and making it worse
-if it gets itchy, do your best not to scratch, cause that'll also make it worse

I wear those thin rubber gloves for work also and sweat seems to irritate it also.

Strange thing is, my left hand is completely fine though
I use Vaseline Extremely Dry Skin Rescue, but this is only for when the skin is dry/cracked. For the eczema, you'll want something to deal with it specifically.

Also same for me, left hand is generally fine.
