Just thought I'd post to see if anyone else here has a similar problem and most important ... what do you do about it.

It started up about 18 months ago. ECZEMA. I have never had this problem before. on my hands.
It is so annoying and not to mention,extremely painful.
Over the last couple of months,it has got worse.
the skin is so itchy,it cracks,etc.

now i really dread doing wc.

i have tried many over-the-counter creams and the specialist told me to keep my hands out of water...http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/w/thumbs.gif yer right! like that's possible.

If anyone has ANY ideas as to what i can do or use,please tell me.

Hi Pascal

I buy latex disposable latex gloves and use them a couple of times then chuck im.
They are about 14 00. canadian for a box of 50 .\Work great for keeping dye from PP off hands

Pascale,

definetly use gloves... That kind of skin damage is going open you up to an infection.

incidentally do you feed blood worms?

I tried using gloves.... water always gets in. and no-one here sells long surgery gloves. actually,was thinking of asking the vet if he could get me those gloves they use on horses and cows.LOL

Brew - I did get bacteria already.was on anti-biotic a while back.
and yes,i do feed them blood worms. but i wash my hands asap afterwards because i read a thread here about probs others have had.
