I posted about this a while back but it's been almost a year since I started with dermatitis. To cut a long story short - I started with dermatitis on my hands a year ago when I got my first job as a Spa Therapist. I worked with ESPA there & my hands used to crack, blister and be awfully dry. I then started working at the Spa I work at now and I work with Elemis, but my dermatitis is just as bad.
I've been to the doctors countless amount of times and I've been referred to a dermatologist but there is an 11 month waiting list!! I've given up with steroid creams as they just make my skin scar and very thin. The doctors are no use and just tell me to moisturise but that doesn't work! The thing that works best is the body shop hemp cream, it keeps them at bay but it doesn't clear it up, my hands are still sore & cracked, it looks horrible and gets me down so god knows what my clients must think.
It's getting to the point where I'm fed up and I've tried everything to find out what it is I'm reacting to but haven't found the cause, my latest conclusion is that it's just doing treatments altogether, as I'm in and out of water, different products and my hands are always active.
I feel like I can't continue in this career but I feel like nobody understands, basically I feel lost and have no idea what I'd do if it turned out that I did have to change career. Any advice would be great, thank you in advance!
