Moisturizing is essential for anyone with hand eczema to help ease pain, redness, cracking and dryness.

- Choose a thick, greasy moisturizer with few ingredients.
- Apply petroleum jelly as soon as you've finished bathing, and carry some with you to apply during the day.
- At night, apply petroleum jelly, and cover with cotton gloves while you sleep.
