It goes with an itchy blister first all over my palm and after I applied cream it become very dry that crackled my skin which is very painful and the skin of my palm is coming off that u need to peel and my palm become very thin. It goes in this cycle all over again and I don't know how to stop and cure this. Thanks

You might want to look at this a bit differently. Make up a list of ALL the symptoms you have, not just the hands. contact dermititis, is either external exposure to something or allergic reaction (internal), I. E. Detoxing something not good for you as fast as your body can. Also, as a stop-gap, extra virgin coconut oil should help for cleaning up the current issue, not getting rid of the cause, but dealing w/ the cracks, irritation, wounds etc.... I'd use throughout the day as needed, and wear gloves at night after slathering it on. I hope you find your 'cause' soon.Replied by Sara (The Beach, Canada) on 06/15/2012
You are describing my exact problem for the last year and I hadn't improved at all until recently, I read " The cure is in the cupboard" by Dr. Cass Ingram. I started to take oil of oregano by drops in water, and drinking it twice a day, one or two drops under the tongue once a day, and added drops to my creams and oils so I could apply it and I am finally seeing a change. I will post in a month to tell you if I still see improvement.
blessings to you, Sara

Just to chime in..... I've had "eczema" for 35 years.... There has really been no rhyme or reason as various parts of my body have been affected over the years.... I tested allergic to some everyday things: nickel, blue-black dye, rubber..... also, I found that my hands were troubled when I "played in the dirt" (gardening); three or so years ago, I stopped using flouride toothpaste and deodorant with aluminum - I now have essentially no skin problems.Replied by Sherryk30 (Wilmington, De, Usa) on 06/16/2012
Straight Aloe Vera! You can buy pieces of aloe in the produce dept. of many grocery stores or I have found aloe vera gel at Walgreens drug store. Just make sure that if you get gel that it doesn't contain anything besides aloe. My grandson had patches of red, dry, flaking and itchy skin. Used all of the Big Pharma creams and preprations to no avail. Decided to use my comon sense and this age old cure all for skin problems and voila! No more patches. He got them maybe 2 more times, usesd the aloe and now he doesn't get them at all! Aloe is good for sunburn, scarring and a host of other problems on our skin and inside of our bodies. Good luck!Replied by Lisa (Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa) on 06/16/2012
Hi Poleen, I too used to react to so many things and then once activated, it would take at least a month for it to resolve. Creams would help somewhat with the itch but not make it go away. It would take its own course. I changed my diet and cleaned up my body with juicing and detoxing but still it would occur. Mind you, that took care of other things so that was really wonderful!
It wasn't until I went and had a Chinese herbalist check me and he gave me Chinese herbs to strengthen my organs related to this occurrence. Also, acupuncture but, honestly it was the Chinese herbs that did the trick. It's been over a year now and I continue to take herbs but now, those which are adaptogens. Adaptogens can be taken by everyone for they correct the body in which ever direction is needed. There are so many benefits to taking them on a regular basis. You might want to check into them- so much wisdom in Chinese medicine!
Anyway, just a suggestion. Take care, Lisa
