Evening primrose oil can help with eczema... it has to be taken for a few weeks 
before you'll see a response, but I do know it has helped and cleared up eczema 
completely.  It needs to be taken regularly, if you stop it the eczema can 
return.  

It also seems for some people that warmth/humidity can make eczema flare, I 
know of some who are fine during the winter but have problems with it during 
the humid summer months, when it can flare up wildly.  It may be that the 
airtight nature of the gloves in general holds in enough heat and humidity to 
contribute to the situation.  

And for what it's worth, I know of some people who never had eczema and then 
developed it in their perimenopausal period with all the hormonal changes, 
don't know if it pertains to your medic, but one more thing to consider.

  Subject: CS>Eczema question


  Can anyone advise on the subject of eczema....I have a medic at work who is 
thinking she is developing a allergy to the gloves we use but it has just 
started happening in the last three months and she has tried using all the 
different types of gloves that we have...powder free...latex free...she says 
she has not changed her diet and has even fasted and detoxed too to no 
avail....is there something she could apply topically or take orally that is 
not prescription?
  thanks in advance ....debbie
