Dyshidrotic eczema is a skin condition involved in a lot of tiny blisters, scally, very itchy, and inflamed skin. A lot of things can trigger such as soap, metal, certain ingredients in skincare or hair products, water exposure,  humidity, dust, etc (almost everything can be the reason). This is my dyshidrotic eczema journey and what I do to recover. 

2014
My very first time skin thinning progress around my fingertips. Every time I cook or clean I will feel something wrong with my finger. Very hot, red, and painful but no wound or blister noticed. 

2015-2020

On my diploma year (2015 till 2017), my finger start to become very itchy, inflamed, and a small blister noticed. Seek dermatologist in Kuala Lumpur diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema and been prescribed steroid cream, ointment, and anti-histamine pills. On and off eczema flare. My fingerprint starts to fade. 

My degree year (2017-2020), even though my eczema on and off but my eczema become worst. Scratching non-stop, wound, crack skin, scally skin, worse blister noticed. I cannot sleep, and every night is a nightmare for me cause usually my eczema flare at the night. Still prescribed with the same med but higher dosage of anti-histamine pills.

2021

In January 2021, I seek other dermatologists nearby Selangor. Got my very 1st steroid injection, and steroid cream. I still use my fav ointment (QV intensive body moisturizer). Took me about 1 month to recover. No more blister or eczema flare, just dry skin and easy to manage (as long as I stick to my routine)- also read: Hand care routine. 

HOWEVER, I did get the steroid side effect that affects my menstruation cycle, hormonal acne on my face, back, and chest, unusual hair growth, etc. 

As you can see here, my eczema took yearss to recover. And I can't guarantee this will last long. Maybe I may need another steroid shot? In some cases, dyshidrotic eczema is a life treatment that requires everyday care. You just need to be patient and always protect your skin to reduce the risk of getting a flare. 

Having a flawless hand always be my number 1 target as I am an eczema patient? And also who doesn't want a flawless hand? Soft to be touch and look nice when wearing a ring or jewellery. I always have a mental breakdown when my eczema flare. Having dented nails, scars, unhealing wounds, etc is sooo embarrassing. So this is my hand care routine to treat all the problems mentioned above. 

  1. Keep shower routine short and simple
    Too long water exposure can make your skin lost moisture. Keep your shower routine simple and short. 10-min is enough. You can wash your face and brush your teeth separately while wearing the glove. 

  2. Trim nail
    The long nail can be the reason bacteria develop under your nail. Always keep it short so your hand will stay in good hygiene. 

  3. Apply nail oil

    You don't need a fancy manicure. Here I share with you a budget-friendly manicure. Avoid wearing any nail polish. Wear nail oil instead. Choose any of your favourite oil as mine is coconut oil, and put it in a nail polish container (you can get it almost everywhere). Apply to your nail every time your hand get wet. 

  4. Apply ointment
    Instead of hand cream, apply something thick such as ointment or petroleum jelly. This can lock the moisture in your hand and sting-free. Apply after you pat dry your hand. Or whenever you feel your hand dry. My favourite is QV intensive body moisturizer and vaseline 100% petroleum jelly. 

  5. Wear glove
    Wear. glove. every. single. time. possible! Choose a 100% thin cotton glove for you to wear every single time (except when you want to use the toilet or get your hand wet). Change your glove every 2 days.



    Wear nitrile powder-free disposable glove whenever you want to get your hand wet such washing you face, apply skincare, apply hair product, touching anything that you allergic such dust or metal or fabric. A disposable glove is made for you to wear and throw immediately. NO 2ND TIME! 


    Use longggg waterproof WITH cotton linen glove whenever you do your laundry or dishes or washing your toilet. 

  6. Choose soap and fragrance-free product
    Even though soap is used for the body and hair, not for the face but still you need to use your hand. Choose soap and fragrance-free soap for the body and hair. My all-time favourite is QV or Cetaphil brand range. For my shampoo, I use baby shampoo as it is less chemical, and I use a 100% organic conditioner. 

I hope this entry is beneficial for you. And may you recover fast also get a flawless hand with this hand care routine. Thank you for reading. If you find this is helpful feel free to share! 

If losing weight is your goal then please stay till the last full stop cuz you'll get a better idea to help you lose weight. 

  1. Diet
    When you want to lose weight 1st thing you need to take care of is your diet. There is a study that states 80% of your weight management plan did not come in your training or workout session but comes from your diet. 

    You do not need luxurious food or high-class restaurant to give you nutrient-rich food. It is just as simple as how you take the food on one plate. Maybe following the guideline of the food pyramid might be too complicated for you.

    To be simple, you need to divide your plate into 3 sections which 1/2, 1/4, and 1/4. 1/2 is consists of fiber or as simple as fresh salad, vege, and fruits. while another 1/4 comes from carbs or your pasta, rice, bread, etc. The last 1/4 comes from your protein. You can choose either steak, meat, chicken, or fish. 

    The amount of fat in your food, you can control by the choice of your food (example: instead of white rice, you may want to change it to brown rice. Instead of fried chicken you may want to switch to roasted chicken) 

  2. Exercise
    Why you still need to exercise even the training only contributes 20% to your weight management is because exercise can be very helpful to increase your metabolism which can metabolize your food intake faster and use it as energy. Low metabolism resulting in more fat production because you can't use your food as energy. 

    Next is the type of exercise that play an important role in your weight management program. For example, you may want to choose cardio training instead of strength training because cardio can burn more calories than strength training. However, both also need to be balanced.

    Tabata training can be the best option. Read more HERE.


 Everyone gets bored when facing the same routine over and over again right? The same goes for me. As for me whenever I want to try a new skincare product ofc I wanna look for better than my existing skincare. Few tips before jump to my favourite skincare, always READ A LOT OF REVIEWS, and INGREDIENT before purchase and DONT FORGET TO PATCH TEST on your skin as "introduce" new product to your skin. Without further due here is my all-time favourite skincare routine 2021. 


  1. CLEANSER
    Those who followed me would know that I really love Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleanser so much. I try to switch with other brands so far I do not find any better than Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser! So I stick with that so far. If you guys have any suggestions might leave the comment below. I would appreciate that. 


  2. TONER
    I still use my all-time fav hydrating toner from Simple and Hada Labo (also read HERE). But having exfoliating toner always be on my bucket list. So I tried Pixi Glow Tonic toner and immediately I fall in love with it!!! This brightens my scars and very gentle exfoliating of my dead skin which made my skin so glowing. If I lose on the island and I could bring only one thing. This is the one thing. 


  3. EYE SERUM
    This has been my routine since my 20's. I will make sure my eyes are always hydrated and moist to prevent any fine lines or wrinkles. So far, Garnier brightening eye roll is my choice since way moreeeee affordable than other on the market eye serum/ eye cream.


  4. MOISTURIZER
    Always and forever my Neutrogena Hydro-Boost Water Gel. No need for further explanation on that. (Read HERE and HERE).


  5. TREATMENT
    I still stick to these two lifesavers. Benzac and Differin. These two are the best and suit my skin the most. I wore these two every day after my moisturizer to avoid any appearance of pimples or acne. And these two really work wonder, I may say that. Differin also helps to stimulate collagen production so it is really good for anti-aging too!


  6. SUNSCREEN
    I always change my sunscreen due to this is the most important step in my skincare routine and always be the number one finished product. So this year I would stick to this one Skin Aqua by sunplay due to the texture that suits my combination skin type.
