RN With Eczema
I am an RN who scrubs in surgery everyday. Does anyone out there do the same? What helps with your eczema outbreaks? Any tips on what you do or use for scrubbing cleansers, lotions etc before, during and after surgery? I am desperate for help. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! I will try this suggestion:) I appreciate that!!
Hey @A MyEczemaTeam Member - I am not an RN, but I do have eczema on my hands. Using SkinFix hand cream has supported me tremendously. As well as 100% cotton gloves (especially when I'm washing dishes, I put those gloves on underneath my rubber gloves). Hope this helps!
If you are a registered nurse (RN) dealing with eczema, here are some tips to help manage your condition while working:
- Wear Appropriate Fabrics: Opt for clothing made from cotton, bamboo, or silk, which are less likely to irritate your skin
- Protective Clothing: Use heavy-duty vinyl, neoprene, or leather gloves to Show Full Answer
Take prebiotic and collagen or colostrum. Look online or Natural Grocers.
Hand eczema is worst, it cripples and limits my activity. Touching water gets painful, but I have noticed that keeping hands wet for few minutes makes symptoms go away and I am free to do activities as normal.
I read somewhere that most pain and sensation in skin is because skin cracks due to lack of moisture ending in cracks that ooze and are painful. So. Keeping skin wet where it gets crusty is very helpful.
I will be trying silicone patch next few days. I am hoping keeping skin wet and protected for a while will help my palm eczema to go away.
Is There A Connection With Diabetes And Eczema?
Has Anyone With Eczema On Their Hands Had Trouble With Their Nails Cracking In The Middle Or Nails That Start To Come Off?
