    Ding Ding Ding!! We have a winner!!! I finally went to the dermatologist yesterday because these spots kept appearing. It is in fact eczema. She said on the hands and feet it appears differently than on other areas of the body. And she said it could have come on because I handle papers so much in my job. They could be there for months or years then they will probably go away for several years. And I might not ever see them again. They're very unpredictable (obviously, they took 36 years to appear). So I get a steriod cream to apply and I must use lotion (she recommended a couple for me) a lot. Which I hate having lotion on my hands, so this is going to be a challenge.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Glad you found your answer Cindy. I hate hand cream as well but I found one that I love. It's called Awakenings and it's 100% natural. It isn't greasy and you only use the tiniest bit. Everytime you wash your hands it reactivates it I sell it at Draeger's or you could get it online.

    Darn, I just saw this and I already went and bought one of the lotions the doctor recommended. But if I happen to see this brand anywhere I'll pick it up. Unless this other stuff stops working then I'll have to take a trip to Draegers. Thanks Claudia!
