Question
I have small itchy bumps on my hands, Dermatologist says eczema, allergist says contact dermatitis.  Nothing has relieved this and I do not think it is eczema, looks nothing like it.  Allergy doctor tested for a few things, but said hundreds he could test for.  Do you think you can help me?  This has been going on for about a year.  My hands swell so I can not wear my rings, gained weight and the itching is like having poison ivy daily.  When I use the medicine the dermatologist prescribed it just dries my hands out.  This started about 3 months after moving in to a newly built home.  I live in Southeast ohio and am 51 years old, only medicine I take is synthroid, but recently started taking a variety of vitamins.

Answer
Yes, so far patients believe this protocol helps but would need to come to a class the fourth Wed of this month to learn about this new approach before you can get an appointment and to know if you can do what is needed, then would need to have all labs faxed to 614-293-9677 after call 614-293-9777 for an appointment. Need all bottles you have taken before and since rash developed and a diary of what you eat and drink, plus new items for your shower, bathroom products and bedroom and clothing items added
