I have suffered with eczema since I was a newborn baby, and I am alergic to soap, tap water and chlorine. If I were to shower daily like most people I would have my whole body looking like this lady's hands...
same! my first really bad flare-up was when I was around 8 or 9 months old, when I had to be weaned because my mother was pregnant again and dried up in her second trimester. it was so bad I was rushed to the ER because I looked like I had been in a house fire. 98% of soaps, cleansers, fragrances, etc will set it off, along with tap water if I drink it, nightshades, gluten, and dairy. I missed tons of school for it as a child but now my skin just looks like hers all the time. I have constantly gotten shit for not showering every day, like showering at all isn't one of the most painful parts of my self-care routine
Ive had bad eczema on my hands for a long time. It can get so bad my skin just peels off and even cold water burns. Hemp oil cream is the only thing that helps, even the prescription stuff doesn't work.
Same here. Eczema since I was tiny and still have just insanely dry skin. Thankfully my eczema only flares now with major stress or my hands getting very cold, so with gloves everywhere, I can mostly avoid it. But I also can't shower daily and when I was at uni a lot of people thought I was gross, etc. Nope, I still wash, just not by wetting my entire body! Even though my skin is what I would consider "good" these days when I do shower it is a process! I've got to exfoliate the dead skin and use a lotion on my skin while in the shower, then pat my skin dry and out on another moisturiser before my skin is totally dry. Adding in that my hair is currently waist length and really thick, when I go for a shower until I'm done, it can literally be hours! I've never loved working from home so much because, with zoom calls, I can get an extra few days out of my hair before washing it that I couldn't when I worked in the office!
Figuring out what's triggering an allergic or intolerant reaction is a horrible and sometimes lengthy process. Especially when family doesn't believe it, even the ones in the medical field. Like reacting to Shae butter.
Thats the thing isnt it. People can be allergic or intolerant to basically anything. I have friends and family that have gotten frustrated with me bc i have to refuse gifts of hygiene products with fragrance or citrus oils in them. Its so hard to explain sometimes lol
My roommate is allergic to milk proteins, soy, eggs, citrus, and wheat. None of it is an intolerance. She for years had an issue with eating and getting things down. For years doctors told her couldn't find anything wrong. Her lower throat would swell but it could only be found through throat scope. Took them far too long to suggest an allergy. She had this issue for over 30 years.
Amen, I'm very prone to dermatitis in a very sensitive area and my GP had no idea what was wrong with me. Turns out I'm allergic to toilet paper, different fabrics with latex in them etc. sadly I figured out on my own as my doctor just brushed me off as neurotic.but I now have relief on an almost every day basis and I feel amazing
@@carelsby I feel that so hard, any hand lotion I'm ever gifted or even fabrics that have latex in them I refuse. I feel so high maintenance but all I'm trying to do is not feel pain or discomfort. My skin will immediately peel at the touch of certain irritants and it can burn for up to 8 weeks or worse depending on the area. I'm with you
My mum has non-anaphylactic “cold urticaria”, which basically means she’d break out in hives all over when that area is exposed to colder temperatures. It honestly looks so painful, even though it doesn’t trigger anaphylaxis (blocked airway due to swelling from the allergy, for those who don’t want to look it up). I’m worried that will change one day, though; that her allergy will get worse... 😥
I have that too and it caused secondary to Raynaud’s disease I can’t let even a cold carton near me a summer breeze causes hard painful itchy lumps I wish your mum well bless her x
I think what's really sad about these programs and the comments under each video is how many people have just been left to suffer with debilitating conditions without help. As someone who's also had a number of chronic conditions that took a long time to identify and required going to specialist after specialist, its really frustrating to see this happening to so many people. The way our current health system is so fragmented and underfunded, it's so difficult to find a doctor who has the time or willingness to actually try and solve ongoing conditions or more complex issues. When we have the knowledge, tools and medicine to treat things that cause so much distress to people and prevent them from doing thier job or daily tasks, yet they go untreated, it just shows how much the current system is lacking. The NHS is so important and the fact that many people have to seek private help to get the treatments they need makes them inaccessible to those who don't have enough money.
This is the state of the NHS. The primary docs handle 90% of cases with 10% of the budget and are strongly discouraged from recommending specialists. I knew she had eczema the second I saw it. People can’t go to specialists without a primary referral. It’s very restrictive and significantly delays care for a multitude of medical and surgical conditions.
When I was 2, I got eczema on the bend of my arms. It went away for a long time. When I went to high school, I broke out on my neck, face and arms. It went away once I was put on steroid creams. When I reached my senior years, it came back and never went away. It became extreme to the point I couldn't sleep anymore. I fought for 3 year solid years from 2015-2018. I was clear from late 2018 and all of 2019. When COVID happened, I was consistently washing my hands and now a year later and my hands have never been the same.... I stopped going to a doctor because steroid creams is all I was given. I'm now finding ways to treat it. While it does get better, it ends up worse later.
Had something similar when I was 13/14 until I was 16. However I never had eczema as a child. I suddenly broke out across my whole body, it was terrible. I was constantly peeling skin, bleeding, swollen, inflamed,... Nothing would help, I literally tried everything from steroid creams to homeopathy. No allergies, nothing. One day it just went away. Since covid my hands have broken out again, I'm hoping they will go down again one day. It's such a pain 😫
I’d love to get allergy testing done to see what causes my dermatographia flareups. But its so expensive, and insurance doesnt give a shit unless something is actively killing you :/
@@thehantavirus That's good advice, and I have tried, and i have located a couple ingredients that i know cause flareups (fragrance and any kind of citrus oil/extract) but every once and a while there's something that triggers it that I can't identify. And there's a certain aspect of trying a lot of different things that gets expensive lol
I was only diagnosed with dermatographia after two different allergy tests (skin prick and intradermal) came back negative and the allergist happened to notice a welt forming after I unconsciously scratched my arm. She said that figuring out all the triggers is near impossible and that minimizing reactions is the best way to deal. She told me to take Zyrtec (specifically Zyrtec as it works best on the histamine response in dermatographia) daily, use only CeraVe moisturizing cream, and to avoid using hot water. The citrus and fragrance probably trigger your dermatographia because they can be skin irritants, causing you to scratch, which causes the dermatographia histamine response, which causes itchiness, which causes scratching, and the cycle continues. Everyone is different, but I responded well to the Zyrtec and CeraVe so they might be worth a shot if you haven't tried already?
this is so fantastic! The reality of allergens is very real and the worst part is finding what allergen is causing the problem. I had a similar issue with my eyes. I started taking mass cell stabilizers to solve it.
Saw that tub of Cereve and thought yup, that’s the one. In winter, I suffer from a combo of extremely dry skin and urticaria (heat/sweat induced hives) and that is the best to treat it, at least after using a couple of creams for psoriasis to get rid of the really acute problem.
I have contact dermatitis and I understand what she is going through. Mine was so bad at one time that one of my hands was stuck in place because the skin was so bad. I had to use steroid cream, but now I use CeraVe moisturising cream and vasaline. no scents and cream not lotions but the vasaline is the original in the tub. The CeraVe she is using is the same I use andnit is amazing.
I had the same thing for so many years. My own sweat would break me out too. So I couldn't leave gloves on for long periods of time. I no longer work in an industry where I'm washing dishes a lot, and it has cleared up. But you can see the scaring on a couple of my fingers still.
Doublebase and Epaderm are both great. I also need Dermavate, and Protopic ointment for when my Pompholyx Eczema flares. I’m recently diagnosed with Eczema, and awaiting an allergy patch test. Best wishes to this lovely woman and her family💖
I ended up with contact dermatitis myself working in the kitchen of a nursing home, forever washing my hands and not always putting a cream on afterwards was very detrimental to my skin. So glad the dr was able to help her, especially after so many years with it.
I had a similar thing when I was a teenager using roll on deodorant. It made my armpits and arms glow red with a terrible soreness. Turns out I was allergic to most roll on deodorant, but not the aerosol.
WTF, my hands look the same after washing them 😳 I have this since I went to kindergarten but my parents never brought me to a dermatologist so I just learned to live with it I guess? I use a shit ton of hand creams but they only work (kind of) until I wash my hands again. It also kinda spreads too because when I use lots of creams a day, it's normally only on my hands but if I don't for some reason, it starts to appear on my knuckles too
Btw (in case of dermatitis) creams with urea tend to help (they kinda sting a bit when the skin is open but still I see results withing the shortest time). Wanted to mention it cus not everyone can see a doctor and these creams r pretty accessible
I also have dermatitis on my hands and its been an absolute nightmare. I had one of the worst flareups these past few months that wouldn't go away, my fingers were bumpy, itchy, scaly and the skin was thick and hard. I finally found something that helped me get rid of it but now the insides of my fingers are all wrinkly because the skin was pulled so taught. :(
Dermatitis is such a terrible disease. I only had it on a spot on my finger and it spread all around the whole of the finger and wouldve effected more if I hadn't of used the treatment that I did. Now its 95% better although there is a small patch of roughness which I'm hoping goes away or at least doesnt cause another flare up. Ps. I used steroid cream(prevents inflammation) and hyaluronic acid(retains moisture in the skin)
I had something like this due to an elevated episode of ocd... I was washing my hands too much ... Lotions n creams helped of courses addressing the issue did as well too....(ocd)
I used to get a milder version of this when I was younger and attending culinary school, assumed brought on because of the many times we had to wash our hands when in the kitchens at school, and to this day the only thing that was ever able to get rid of it on me is the hemp hand protector from the body shop. I still swear by that lotion, though I'm not usually a body shop fan :)
I have something similar called asteatotic eczema. I'd had winter outbreaks of it as a child, but my most recent attack had been the worst and most stubborn by far. I'm also an immunocompromised infant teacher, which means my hands get washed or sanitized a lot! Luckily, my hands and fingers feel so much better now. The dermatologist prescribed a steroid cream and talked about how we could help heal and maintain the skin barrier with different cleansers and moisturizers. I use a lot of baby eczema products, as they're always a safe choice. My favorite products come from Baby Dove, Baby CeraVe, Aveeno baby eczema therapy, and Aquaphor. TLDR: Dermatologists are amazing
This is exactly what I have on my hands. I also had to change jobs because of contact dermatitis and it got better but didn't go completely. Steroid cream is the only thing that works for me. I need to get this allergy check!
My hands got real bad when I was working in fast food. They were worse than this, cracked, swollen, red, skin peeling, tons of tiny blisters, etc. It took me almost a year to realize the culprit - the soap at work. I was washing my hands dozens of times a day with soap I was allergic to. I started bringing my own soap and my hands cleared up so quickly.
This is starting to happen to me.. I noticed a fee years back little pin head blisters. .. These things are now spreading to other fingers and its so uncomfortable.. Talking to my Dr Soon..
Ok so the title is incorrect then? Lol. She’s not allergic to hand washing at all. She just has to use emollient based creams to wash her hands in. I have contact dermatitis & a milder form of OCD - which includes over washing of hands, & I can’t bring myself to use the emollient creams as I don’t find my hands are clean 😖 I’m having quite a bad flare up at the moment with huge splits in my fingers & palms, that won’t heal. So I sympathise. It makes me very self conscious too. I’ve had eczema since I was a baby & for the most part it’s cleared up except on my hands. I only wish my doctors would help a bit more / be more understanding but nevermind! We just have to get on with it the best we can. Your daughter is beautiful :)
The doctor said that her skin is irritated by water, which is functionally the same thing. And it sounds like you have a self-harm issue going on as you allow your skin to get that bad by not following medical advice.
@@SevCaswell she has OCD, that's not self-harm. There's also a form of OCD called dermatalomania, which is also not 'self harm' but is characterized by essentially harming your skin.
What cremes would you use to wash your hands if you did use them? I'm in the US, have the same thing, and have no clue where to find an emollient based wash!
@@abigray8585 I did, but it wasn't bad enough at the time to warrant finding alternative products. I simply started using washing up gloves. Nowadays I'm in the US, and it takes so long to get referred to a dermatologist that it's almost not worth it.
gaaaaawd I used to get this when I worked as a holistic therapist! Used to have to slap on steroid cream every night until I found out I couldn't use Lavender, which as an aromatherapist at the time is veeery difficult! But stopped using it and my hands are all fine now! Never using the stuff again but always keeping an eye out just in case!
My hands and feet looked like hamburger when I was in the fifth grade. It was so painful. I am much better but very careful which soaps I use and lotions. I hate the looks when I leave public bathrooms and people see you not use the soap and they look at you weird. I have sanitizer with aloe and then I use a thick lotion to keep my hands from drying until I can get a good clean. When I am able I carry small soap when I know I’m driving/traveling for the day. She will always have to be mindful of her skin.
It’s so funny what people can use and what they can’t! I’ve got crazy dry skin and tried Cerave after hearing people raving about it made my skin even more dry. I was so disappointed! But obviously it works for a ton of people.
Year by year my body will developed a new kind of eczema, so I went to all dermatologist on my town most of the time they will recommend asteroid injection but all my family members opposed that idea so I am living all my life with eczema :
is it me or by the look of what there waring and there house and the hair and nails you think you would bye a dishwasher with medical aproved dishwashing tablets for the use of suringes or am i stupid
This looks like topical steroid withdrawal. If she stopped using steroid cream, moisturisers & let her hands dry out it’d take 6-12 months for her skin to fully heal. I’ve gone through the same experience and it was tough but leaving my skin alone was the best option in the end.
God anyone with a brain already knows this. And if you don't, well if you didn't know all of this before, then you must have done more drugs than I did & completely fried your brain. As soon as I saw it I knew what caused it, what she needs to do, & how she needs to do the up keep of things.
Well she doesn't sound like the brightest of sparks. Also she was doing what her doctor told her and using the products that her doctor prescribed, but clearly the doctor was not providing strong enough prescriptions to clear up the issue. Once the right products were prescribed the problem cleared up quickly.
@@SevCaswell exactly! It's crazy to think that most docs now a days don't know as much as the older docs. And to freak you out even more, there's way more info/cases to learn from today than 20 yrs ago. Now THAT blows my mind lol 😅 but I also have the tendency to over think literally everything along with thinking the absolute worst to happen. 😅🙃
Oh you are such an amazing and brilliant person that you know exactly what she had only for looking at it. No, what happens is that you are lucky that what you though was the reality. There's a lot of reasons for people having some problems like this, it doesnt need to be soap. But unfortunatelly, nobody is so bright as you. So sad you dont have your Nobel prize to show everybody ;)
It’s the constant hair washing with the soap, the average person doesn’t come into contact with soap that often. Soaps an alkaline so it destroys skin the more you use it. Not surprising hairdressers, doctors, chefs etc have dryer hands.
@@sophietheunicorn3579 yes, I know that contact dermatitis is caused by 'irritating contact', but I also developed an allergy to desposit-only hair color, yet had ALWAYS worn gloves when applying it.
When I was in cosmetology school one of my teachers developed something like this on her hands and she told us her doctor said it was from the chemicals for so long
@@ElisabethMount I’m sorry to hear about your condition, that really sucks. My mom was a hairstylist too. Lots of conditions, allergies included, are caused by environmental factors. It’s insane, but there are so many chemicals, toxins and carcinogens that surround our day to day life. Household cleaners, hair dyes and bleach, soaps and shampoos and conditioners, our food and water, our actual outside environment, air quality, etc. Pesticides are in a lot of things too, and there are lots of toxic particulates in our air, which can be worse in certain locations. It’s no wonder chronic illnesses of all sorts are so common today.
I like the fact that the doctor asks “how do you feel” “what effect does this on your life”?
Bless her. Glad its all sorted for her now. It just shows how important it is to see a specialist in their respective field of medicine.

I wish she was in the US .😞

So true for me! Something to do with getting gel nails and exposure to the UV light triggered my eczema 😢
Exactly.

I have something similar called asteatotic eczema. I'd had winter outbreaks of it as a child, but my most recent attack had been the worst and most stubborn by far. I'm also an immunocompromised infant teacher, which means my hands get washed or sanitized a lot!
Luckily, my hands and fingers feel so much better now. The dermatologist prescribed a steroid cream and talked about how we could help heal and maintain the skin barrier with different cleansers and moisturizers. I use a lot of baby eczema products, as they're always a safe choice. My favorite products come from Baby Dove, Baby CeraVe, Aveeno baby eczema therapy, and Aquaphor.
TLDR: Dermatologists are amazing
Bless her. she seems sweet as days. If it pains you to wash your hair why put hair extensions in? Seriously?
This is exactly what I have on my hands. I also had to change jobs because of contact dermatitis and it got better but didn't go completely. Steroid cream is the only thing that works for me. I need to get this allergy check!
My hands got real bad when I was working in fast food. They were worse than this, cracked, swollen, red, skin peeling, tons of tiny blisters, etc. It took me almost a year to realize the culprit - the soap at work.
I was washing my hands dozens of times a day with soap I was allergic to. I started bringing my own soap and my hands cleared up so quickly.
This is starting to happen to me.. I noticed a fee years back little pin head blisters. .. These things are now spreading to other fingers and its so uncomfortable.. Talking to my Dr Soon..
Ok so the title is incorrect then? Lol. She’s not allergic to hand washing at all. She just has to use emollient based creams to wash her hands in.
I have contact dermatitis & a milder form of OCD - which includes over washing of hands, & I can’t bring myself to use the emollient creams as I don’t find my hands are clean 😖
I’m having quite a bad flare up at the moment with huge splits in my fingers & palms, that won’t heal. So I sympathise. It makes me very self conscious too. I’ve had eczema since I was a baby & for the most part it’s cleared up except on my hands.
I only wish my doctors would help a bit more / be more understanding but nevermind! We just have to get on with it the best we can.
Your daughter is beautiful :)
The doctor said that her skin is irritated by water, which is functionally the same thing.
And it sounds like you have a self-harm issue going on as you allow your skin to get that bad by not following medical advice.
@@SevCaswell she has OCD, that's not self-harm. There's also a form of OCD called dermatalomania, which is also not 'self harm' but is characterized by essentially harming your skin.
What cremes would you use to wash your hands if you did use them? I'm in the US, have the same thing, and have no clue where to find an emollient based wash!
@@ElisabethMount I’d go to a doctor, perhaps a skin specialist or something.
@@abigray8585 I did, but it wasn't bad enough at the time to warrant finding alternative products. I simply started using washing up gloves. Nowadays I'm in the US, and it takes so long to get referred to a dermatologist that it's almost not worth it.
It seems a bit odd if she’s only experiencing symptoms on her hands/wrists, but no where else on her body…
I had had a problem to wash my hands with soap. But solid perfume-free soaps were the solution for me.
i also have contact dermatitis, I am sorry, it sucks! I have to use a Steriod cream.
gaaaaawd I used to get this when I worked as a holistic therapist! Used to have to slap on steroid cream every night until I found out I couldn't use Lavender, which as an aromatherapist at the time is veeery difficult! But stopped using it and my hands are all fine now! Never using the stuff again but always keeping an eye out just in case!
Could you use it wearing gloves?
Sweetheart, your beautiful because you have personality. If anyone says otherwise just do your best to ignore them.
I was born allergic to soap, hand sanitizer, slime, shampoo. How fun :)
Been there...feel u
Suplemen? Vitamin? Enzim?
That's so sad to see cus hand washing is the most basic thing any human on earth needs to do , Imagine ughh
It was probably her constantly working with hair products and her hands being wet triggered the eczema...
I have dyshidrotic eczema on my Hands foe about 5 years and I use Protopic 0,1% and Elocon (cortisone ). The best treatment for me. 🙂
My hands and feet looked like hamburger when I was in the fifth grade. It was so painful. I am much better but very careful which soaps I use and lotions. I hate the looks when I leave public bathrooms and people see you not use the soap and they look at you weird. I have sanitizer with aloe and then I use a thick lotion to keep my hands from drying until I can get a good clean. When I am able I carry small soap when I know I’m driving/traveling for the day. She will always have to be mindful of her skin.
My godmother is deathly allergic to hair dye! Like…throat swelling, eyes bulging….ER/ICU visits!
Good ol’ cerave cream. Someone call Hyram! 🗣
Dermol is amazing too. I remember coming straight out of the doctors when i was prescribed it and putting it on and audibly groaning. Handgasm.
It’s so funny what people can use and what they can’t! I’ve got crazy dry skin and tried Cerave after hearing people raving about it made my skin even more dry. I was so disappointed! But obviously it works for a ton of people.
What cremes she had?
My skin looks like hers
I'm curious, if you are self conscious about your hands why choose glittery nails?
It might be a good way to draw people's eyes away from the rest of the hands.
Year by year my body will developed a new kind of eczema, so I went to all dermatologist on my town most of the time they will recommend asteroid injection but all my family members opposed that idea so I am living all my life with eczema :
Ive had this and its horrible im slightly allergic to hand sanitizer so can only use certain ones
Plz have a freind who is having white spots on her legs but no pain.
The colour of the skin is controlled by melanin so sth might be wrong with her cells
Is that from the Latex Cloves she using because i had a Latex Allergy?
I’m farding 😯
Did she say her daughters name is coffee bean???!?!
It's Phoebe 😂😂
A dishwasher would help a bit.
My wife's skin on her hands dries out and bleeds, despite constant applications of various creams. I'm the dishwasher.
Cerave!!!
We use mderma 100% fat creme
No body washing..maybe the soap or detergent not good for her..
What about the chemicals used in her nails and polish?
I'm not a dr, but my original thought is that nails are basically dead cells which could explain why they're not affected
@@shannonk5361 no lol they’re fake nails
You can develop allergies to acrylic and gel if they come into contact with your skin too often
👏👏
She looks like Camilla Cabello.
❤
is it me or by the look of what there waring and there house and the hair and nails you think you would bye a dishwasher with medical aproved dishwashing tablets for the use of suringes or am i stupid
This looks like topical steroid withdrawal. If she stopped using steroid cream, moisturisers & let her hands dry out it’d take 6-12 months for her skin to fully heal. I’ve gone through the same experience and it was tough but leaving my skin alone was the best option in the end.
Wonder what is was like after she got the tattoos.
Pheobe has a pacifier mouth
The title of this almost sounds like an insult.
lmao ever hear of gloves??
She talks like forest gump
this channel is dying hard
God anyone with a brain already knows this. And if you don't, well if you didn't know all of this before, then you must have done more drugs than I did & completely fried your brain. As soon as I saw it I knew what caused it, what she needs to do, & how she needs to do the up keep of things.
Well she doesn't sound like the brightest of sparks. Also she was doing what her doctor told her and using the products that her doctor prescribed, but clearly the doctor was not providing strong enough prescriptions to clear up the issue. Once the right products were prescribed the problem cleared up quickly.
Its not about capacity, kts about the NHS who doesn't give a shit.. They just prescribe u sth, without running any tests.
@@SevCaswell exactly! It's crazy to think that most docs now a days don't know as much as the older docs. And to freak you out even more, there's way more info/cases to learn from today than 20 yrs ago. Now THAT blows my mind lol 😅 but I also have the tendency to over think literally everything along with thinking the absolute worst to happen. 😅🙃
Oh you are such an amazing and brilliant person that you know exactly what she had only for looking at it. No, what happens is that you are lucky that what you though was the reality. There's a lot of reasons for people having some problems like this, it doesnt need to be soap. But unfortunatelly, nobody is so bright as you. So sad you dont have your Nobel prize to show everybody ;)
okay? do u want a cookie
I have the same condition, and was also a hairdresser. I wonder if there's a link?
It’s the constant hair washing with the soap, the average person doesn’t come into contact with soap that often. Soaps an alkaline so it destroys skin the more you use it. Not surprising hairdressers, doctors, chefs etc have dryer hands.
@@sophietheunicorn3579 yes, I know that contact dermatitis is caused by 'irritating contact', but I also developed an allergy to desposit-only hair color, yet had ALWAYS worn gloves when applying it.
When I was in cosmetology school one of my teachers developed something like this on her hands and she told us her doctor said it was from the chemicals for so long
@@ElisabethMount I’m sorry to hear about your condition, that really sucks. My mom was a hairstylist too.
Lots of conditions, allergies included, are caused by environmental factors. It’s insane, but there are so many chemicals, toxins and carcinogens that surround our day to day life. Household cleaners, hair dyes and bleach, soaps and shampoos and conditioners, our food and water, our actual outside environment, air quality, etc. Pesticides are in a lot of things too, and there are lots of toxic particulates in our air, which can be worse in certain locations. It’s no wonder chronic illnesses of all sorts are so common today.
@@cassgray9340 Amen!!!
