What is a good treatment for dyshidrosis or eczema?

Answer by  Olivia27 (41)

Use a mild soap and warm, not hot, water to prevent dryness. Use a moisturizer with petroleum jelly after bathing to lock in moisture. Don't scratch the rash and make sure to wear loose fitting clothes.

If you are looking for an over-the-counter remedy, I've had good results with hydro-cortisone cream. Make sure that it is 1% hydro-cortisone - the weaker .05% version did not work for me. Prior to applying it, take a warm oatmeal bath: grind up some ordinary oatmeal in a blender until very powdery and sprinkle it into the water.
