@epadermukโs ointment works wonders for my #DyshidroticEczema on my hands! The ointment helps me rehydrate my hands and reduces redness and gives me much-needed comfort. If you suffer Dyshidrotic eczema/ hand eczema youโll how painful and debilitating it is! Lil hand tip: use the ointment as your primary hydrator then add a lil bit of their cream I found this mix to be a great little combo for ensuring not only I had created a protective barrier for my skin I had also helped hydrate it!

@eczemasociety recommends leaving a gap of around 30 minutes between applying an emollient and sunscreen (apply the emollient first). Without the application of sunscreen, emollient can cause a โfrying effectโ, which can include harmful burning.
REMINDERโ๏ธMany medications, including some used to treat eczema, can increase photosensitivity, so be sure to review the patient information for your medication.
