Dyshidrotic eczema

Yup. Suffered it for 6 years, had a big open wound on the back of my right hand from it for almost 3 years.

I had to jump through a lot of hoops with my allergist and insurance, but was eventually approved for prescription shots specifically to treat eczema (mine was Dupixent). You give yourself a shot in the stomach every 2 weeks.

After a year and a half of this, my dyshidrotic eczema completely went away and has never come back.
