I had eczema since i was 4 y/o. A dermatologists told me that my eczema was caused by sudar and food coloring. i only get rashes near joints ex. back of neck, inside of elbows and knees, over and under my eyelids and sometimes under my arms
sources and sites also would be helpful.

I’ve been suffering with this horrid hand rash for 6 months now. It was diagnosed by 3 different dermatologists as ‘pompholyx or dishydrotic eczema’. I’ve begun seeing an allergist/immunoligist twice weekly, since they look for the cause as opposed to just treating the symptom. We have been doing everything you can imagine, including the standard treatment and RX therapies, ‘old wive’s’ treatments, anything found on the web that someone said helped them, etc, with no relief. Its on my feet too and feels like walking on glass. I’m very upset because all my labwork came back today, I was tested for allergies to everything under the sun, including the patch test and NOTHING. I have no allergies to anything. So, my question is, if eczema is an allergic reaction to something (whether it be environmental or a food), how in the !@#$%^&* can I have it when I’m not allergic to anything??? I’m going crazy here! I’ve never had ANY skin problems in my life! This is painful and debilitating, help!
Note: We also tried homepathy, involving cleanisng (YUCK), and removing suspicious foods. No help. We eliminated stress and smoking as a factor as well. Please God, SOMEONE have the answer here! I will give you lots more than 10 freaking points if you can help me!! SERIOUSLY!
EDIT: Thanks, Sels. I do the same thing, and no relief. I even wear gloves in the dang shower! I switched all my lotions soaps, EVERYTHING to very mild formulas. :(
