Can you help the terrible dermatitis I have on my hand?

I have terrible dermatitis on my hand. I am a nurse and I have had it for one year _ and I have found nothing works even the four rx’s I have to use! Help!

OK, breathe deep. We can fix this.

Your condition did not arise out of no-where. Contact dermatitis is caused by, well, daily contact with something or things incompatible with your current metabolism. Given your occupation the obvious place to look first is the repeated daily use of anti-microbial detergent based hand cleaners. Fortunately for you, a recent article in the Harvard Review states that 30 seconds of hand washing with soap and water washes away 99.9% of germs (two rounds of “Happy Birthday”). I recommend the Unscented Foamer. If it helps (it will help) go ahead and buy gallon refills. This is a very different product than anything you have tried before. No detergents and no anti-microbial (except soap).

Next, look at the gloves. You may be getting sensitized to the powder. Try unpowdered blue nitrile gloves if you are not using them already.

It gets chilly up here in Vermont as well as in Minnesota. What happens is that dust, which has been collecting on pipes and radiators and such begins to burn off as we enter into heating season in the North Country. The dust and dust mite weirdness is super toxic to dust sensitive people. It can make your skin break out and things you normally can use without issue become extremely irritating. So if you had an issue before, you may find that it gets worse at the beginning of heating season. Take a damp cotton cloth to the heating registers. And open a window for ventilation when you can.

To soothe your reactive skin start with the Butter Bar. Use this for face, body and hands when at home. This is a very special bar soap full of anti-inflammatory botanicals. You will be amazed. I use the Butter Bar almost every day for bathing, shaving, and with my thin, thinning hair; as a shampoo.

To quickly soothe and heal flared up skin we have several excellent products for you. I am going to recommend Green Gold as a topical soother/moisturizer. It is super concentrated and should provide immediate soothing relief from symptoms.

I recommend that you try 1 Unscented Hand Foamer 7oz, a 1oz Green Gold and 1 boxed Butter Bar. We can second day air it to you. You will know within one day if I called this right. After that you can buy in bulk and watch for our specials and deals to save 25% or more.

Also Sharman, drink extra water; just not from plastic (and especially PET and PETE plastic). Avoid premade processed drinks and food, take a multi vitamin with B-12 and a mineral supplement with chelated minerals, and eat more organic local veggies. The thing about natural healing practices is that, even if you get the causality wrong, you are still making the healthiest choices you can every day.

Now I cannot guarantee that making the healthiest choices you can every day will clear up anyone’s skin or help us to live a day longer. But I can guarantee that if we don’t; it will be a heckofa lot harder to do so.

Wishing you All the Best,

Soapman
