To not use soap !

[Coronationstreetandtea]

N/c as very outing and don't know anyone else in this situation .
I get terrible dermatitis / eczema on my hands . They bleed crack and I get infections . I have tried everything . Under a specialist . They think I'm either alergic to the soap or my skin is so sensitive it just destroys it . I can't use hand sanitizer as it stings and burns . They initially have advised I just use water and not to hot water to wash my hands . When I said I was worried regarding germs( have dc ) they suggested I use my imoliant moisturise as a soap substitute instead . Advised Not to use hand sanitizer as many contain ingredients that will damage my skin . Have to say since Iv started my skin has improved , but it goes against the grain of what are advised in general . Has anyone else been advised this ? Any way round it as I worry about the germ issue . Surely imoliant a can't get rid of them ?

Another one to recommend dermal 500 as
Hand wash and / or moisturiser

When I have eczema on my hands one of the best things is just not to wash them or as little as possible. Use some emolliant (or whatever you find best) first thing, put on some cotton gloves and resist the temptation to wash them at all.

I have some disposable gloves that I pop on if I go to the loo and use rubber gloves when doing any housework, you really need to keep away from constant washing...Though to be fair, I can do this as I am home alot

This is an interesting link, The National Eczema Society recommends against the use of aqueous cream:
