Help Skin Rash!?!
Question: Since it's wintertime and the air is dry and everything, I've had a flare-up of eczema on my hands. When I use regular scented lotions and such, my hands become burning/stinging and red for about 15 minutes starting immediately after use of the lotion. Does this affect my skin at all or is it just reacting to the lotion because my skin is severely dry? Should I stop using regular lotions? Thanks for the help!

yes, stop using regular lotions, seek mediacl attention, my 3 yr old son has eczema as well and they presribed a pill and a medicated type of lotion.
With open cracks on skin, avoid scented lotions. They irritate many people. Get some nice, thick, unscented body butter or something of the sort. Udder cream is good.
