Always had mild eczema flare ups so never been prescribed anything for it but the eczema between my fingers is sooooo itchy,there are tiny little blisters when i scratch and then they weep and the skin cracks.
Have been putting various hand moisturisers,e45 and aqueous on .The pharmacy gave me some hydrocortizone cream but as the skin is broken i can't put it on.
Does anyone know what this type of eczema is this?
What can i put on it?
suggestions welcome please.

I use Udo's too - I try to use the oil everyday but if not I've got the capsules too. No fishy burps with Udo's because it is made from seeds and is really good as a kind of 'internal moisturiser.'
I had some Kamillosan ointment left over from when I was breastfeeding and used it on my patches of eczema. Make sure you don't become reliant on steroids to keep the eczema in check... I would definitely think aobut visiting a homeopath. x

I had this and used pure Shea Butter - helped do the trick, would avoid anything chemical and horrid

I have the same type of excema as you and I've found that once the weeping sores have healed then I use Eucerin hand cream (with 5% urea) to keep them moisturised. The urea seems to be the ingredient that makes the difference having tried everying else under the sun including the udder cream. HTH

My sister has really bad eczema, all over - she likes the Allergenics range which I sell on my website (DrivenSnow). Hope that helps. x

The Eurax seems to have it under control at the moment
Thankyou for all the great suggestions/ideas!
