hi..im a female,forty yearsold, recently living here in riyadh,Saudi Arabia..im working as a private nurse to a bedridden pt.who is a pseudomonas carrier. Just recently my eczema flair up due to very hot temperature over here. Most of my hands is very dry,itchy and red up to my lower arm. Im taking anti-histamine,put creams and take 25mg steriod for 1 week. Im using gloves but since im still washing every now and then..my problem is still there....am i prone now to get the bacteria due to the open wounds and scratches in my hands....thank you.
