Contact Dermatitis/hand eczema

Good evening forum

I suffer with hand eczema/dermatitis and have currently got hand foot and mouth disease which I got from my young son. I am currently off work but really feel it only got this bad as the skin was broken and feel I need a course of flucloxacillin or amoxicillin to bring down the inflammation and irritation.

I use tacrolimus and aveeno/double bass as emollients daily but I simply cannot improve it and the hand foot and mouth has really flared it up.

Any recommendations as I am running out after seeing several gp's , skin specialists and using all forms of steroid creams and ointments. Am I right in thinking I need antibiotics?

Any advice would be superb, thanks in advance

Re: Contact Dermatitis/hand eczema

Hope all is better now, and sorry to hear that you've got hand foot mouth from your child. Mine with eczema had HFMD too, and it was difficult to manage the itch during the week. Is there any doctor who have helped you to figure out the trigger for your flare-up? Hope all's better already, take care!
