I have been dealing with ongoing eczema on my hands since a few months after my LO was born without having it in the past. I went months just thinking it was dry skin because I was maybe dehydrated (my LO is breastfed so I thought maybe it was because I wasn't drinking enough water) I finally contacted my doctor over email and got a cream to help and though it helped it was not much better. Finally I scheduled an appointment and had it checked out which is when I found out it was eczema and not just dry skin (before this I thought eczema was only presented itself as a rash). I am using a stronger cream now which is helping and I have to wear gloves all the time at home when cleaning/sleeping.

I have it mostly on the tips of my fingers where it cracks - very painful! I don't know much about this type of eczema besides a few Google searches and my Dr. didn't mention anything about it being at all related to pregnancy/breastfeeding. I am just curious to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar and if so what helped and how did it resolve?
