For real though, my husband has eczema mostly concentrated on his hands and they get real torn up in the winter especially. If it gets really bad, we’ll get him a pack of latex gloves, he slathers on Vaseline and then I help him get the gloves on, and then he sleeps that way. It’s the only thing that manages to make a significant difference. It’s not comfy but sometimes his fingers bleed so we gotta do something.

So could you keep your hand soft by wearing a glove full of vaseline?
I’m asking for a friend, well I say he’s a friend, he’s a dickhead.

In the netherlands doctors use Cetomacrogol 1000 (with 10-30% vaseline) or a variant or Bag Balm (less usesd) for people having eczema or psoriasis. It adds disinfectant and hydration properties. Works fantastic

Buy some Locobase cream of you have it where you live. By far the most effective thing for my Accutane hands when I was on that.

I used to do this too, until I found something more targeted. I also have a sensitivity to common lotion ingredients so can’t use them without making things worse. Unfortunately the petroleum jelly is never absorbed so without the gloves everything you touch gets greasy

Unrelated, but you have any rabbits I could pet?

I love early-morning Of Mice and Men references. This is great.
