Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Hand eczema is usually a contact dermatitis due to allergy to detergent,colors,chemicals etc
You can use a barrier cream like dermashield in morning.
Also patch testing would help greatly to determine the cause of allergy.
A visit to dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis and will suggest proper treatment.
