I had over 10 years of eczeme/sensitivity between my fingers after operating a professional dishwasher for under a year.

I always thought the reason was the handling of the hot, sprayed tableware. It set on pretty quickly too : couple of months.

It probably is. There's no indication that these results mean anything about the effects on skin.

I didn't claim that, but I think it was a combination of the temperature and the (rinse) spray. One could feel the spray.

How did your eczema go away?

At the time I got some 'hormone' ointment from my doctor ( this is really scary and amazing stuff btw, apply it before bed, next morning : completely restored fingers ).

I noticed the eczema returned as soon as I did wet cleaning in the house, so I converted to a staunch cleaning gloves wearer.
