There's been an invasion. I've been invaded by eczema again. It was sneaky,,came on slow. Just a small blister on a finger of my right hand. Then it started spreading like wildfire! It soon took over two or three fingers on each hand and the thumbs. There was drying, cracking skin, especially on the finger tips. And it itched. Oh, how it itched! And then it began to hurt. Then it took over all the fingers and palms. The small blisters are new to me. They're about half the size of a pencil eraser and tough. Squeezing won't pop them. As they dry, they form a light brown tough scab. The right hand was the first to go "critical". Monday at work, I noticed blood on the computer mouse where a finger had cracked. Other large lighter brown scabs appeared on the fingers. Wore a latex glove on the right hand at work in case of bleeding and also to cover the way the hand looked. Wednesday, the left hand went "critical" and I put a glove on it. I've been smearing ointment on them and put gloves on them for about 45 minutes before I got to work and that's helped. Still have a long way to go though. Both hands are a mass of peeling skin, scabs and blisters. God I hate this! But, I will conquer this as I have in the past, but for now, it's a real pain.
