I had Dyshidrosis (sp?) aka Housewives Eczema. I went to many doctors over 15 years. Everyone thought fungus. I had the little water blisters that looked like poison ivy, they break, my hands got cracked, bleed and this was very painful . Over the years, I have run into women that had this all the way to the elbows. I was a 25 year old woman with hands that looked like a dog mauled me. Most of my life I did the cleaning and I worked on cars as a hobby. In old days we washed clothes with our hands. I found one doctor that immediately told me what it was and said to keep hands free of any chemicals, soaps, lotions and paramount to stay dry for at least 6 months. He gave me a cream as well. I was cured after 8 months.
