Lifechanging for Eczema
I have patches of eczema on my hands that flare up because I wash my hands frequently, especially in the cooler weather. I alternate between trying to wash my hands less and gloves with prescribed lotion, but this year has been especially bad. I looked into these types of gloves and saw that they really seemed to help other people. I decided to try the finger less option, as I can't put my phone down without it getting lonely.<br />Putting these on is SO difficult. I have basically resorted to turning them inside out and placing my fingers in one at a time and pushing down the finger part until it's at my palm, then I am able to put the rest of the glove on. It's annoying and sometimes this method doesn't work, with the liner getting stuck to my skin and preventing them from moving into place. (The large, floppy, full gloves are much easier, but have their drawbacks because you can't use your phone.)<br />Once they are on- they are pretty chilly and weird feeling. That's normal.<br />They smell pretty strongly but I don't mind the smell. I don't recommend using lotion with these as the smell might make a nasty combination, also the texture of the glove seems like it would be messy with lotion.<br />I usually put these on when I get home from work and watch an episode of whatever we are watching. After an episode or 2, I take them off - leave them inside out for next time, and put them back in their little bag that they came in. Then, I wash my hands in lukewarm water and dry thoroughly. I haven't hardly needed my rx lotion at all this winter. When I can get them on, these work really well. There is something about this inner lining that is really helpful for your skin, though it also works against you when trying to put them on.
