I've been experiencing some really intense itching on my fingers and toes, and I just found out it's Dyshidrotic eczema. Do you have any treatment suggestions or tips on how to manage this condition? It's been really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.

Dyshidrotic eczema can be treated with topical corticosteroids such as Clobetasol propionate cream applied twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by once daily for 2 weeks. In addition, you can use emollients like Cetaphil Restoraderm lotion to keep the skin moisturized. If the itching is severe, you can take oral antihistamines such as Loratadine 10mg once daily. If there is any sign of infection, antibiotics like Cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary.

I had a chemical peel on my face recently from a dermatologist, and now I've developed lichen planus. Could the peeling be the reason for it? I haven't taken any medications or done anything else that might have triggered this. I'm pretty concerned. What could be going on here?
