I’ve had dishydrotic eczema on and off for several years, but it’s gotten much worse in the past few months. My general practitioner has prescribed a cream called triamcinolone acetonide cream which I apply 2x per day, and I am no longer getting any relief. I’ve made an appointment with a dermatologist, but it’s not until 2/5, and I’m in a lot of discomfort and pain (not to mention that it looks awful!). Does anyone have any suggestions?

ok ive posted several questions as ive researched to what the small blister-like bumps on my hands are and ive heard several accounts of something called dyshidrotic eczema… now ive seen some pretty extreme pics of this but mine look more like this

should i expect them to worsen? from what ive read they are not contagious. i have a doctors appointment for an unrelated matter and plan to ask him about the bumps… now is there anything that anybody uses to get rid of these things? i keep looking at them and wish they would just go away and not come back but from what ive read they are gonna come and go from now on… is this true?
see but they really dont itch… i cant remember a time when theyve actually bothered me other then the fact that i dont want them on my hands…
