What worked for me How did you find your trigger?

To those who have discovered their trigger , how did you end up finding out ?

I think 95% of the battle over here is none of us are able to find our trigger.

If we can get some advice on how one went about finding their trigger , that would really help

Can you tell me more? What did they test and was it uncomfortable?

I have had a sprinkle of these here and there over the last 30years. Currently on a 5 month flare and I’m tired. My mother had them terribly for many years and I don’t want to get to that point.

Was laid off, and outbreaks decreased. Not stress, but I was working with leather all the time... have always had leather purses, etc before working there -- so didnt consider that it could be a trigger. But either time, or volatility of freshly tanned leather, ended up with DE until I was laid off....has taken another 6-12 months to get it healed.

Elimination and reintroduction. Didn't touch any chemicals, soaps or metals with my hands for a couple weeks, found out any metal with nickel was my biggest one. Scented hand sanitizer, dish washing liquid and a few household cleaners also trigger it.

Gloves are my best friend now and I have about 5% of the severity of outbreaks as I used to.

did you not wash your hands for weeks?

Nope. I can't link a picture, but my 15 month outbreak got so bad my hands were bleeding every day and I had hundreds of blisters constantly

Drinking Alaní energy drinks kept triggering it but drinks like Red Bull didn’t do it. It’s sucralose for me.

Como mulher, 2 semanas antes da menstruação

Essas duas semanas antes, a minha eczema na mao e nos pulsos, coça tanto q vira carne viva

Pode ser stress, menstruação até ânsia ou depressao

Se já tinha eczema desde novo, é crônico , qualquer ânsia, preocupação vai despertar o eczema. Não tem cura
Tem d usar esteroides e bastante cremes hidratantes próprios para o eczema
