For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.imo hydrocortisone is a last reort. my baby son had eczma and the doc prescribed steroids. I didn't touch them and used homeopathy and probiotics instead. you should have seen my GP's face 2 months later when my son had the clearest skin you'd ever seen without using his creams! You are best of finding the cause rather that just treating the symptoms.
sounds like contact dermatitis, which is essentially a form of eczema caused by an irritant applied to your skin. It is quite common to get this on your hands if you wash them regularly using detergents, my sis for example is a midwife which involves lots of handwashing and she has big problems with this. You need to keep your hands dry as much as possible, perhaps by wearing gloves, i think you can get special ones for this kind of skin condition. good luck!
