    dry skin gets itchy. Its annoying lol.

    use gloves, if not try cooler water.

    Any hand cream is good for when you are out of the water.

    im a hairdresser and we have alot of dermatitus which is the same as eczema really, just need to avoid getting them wet so much and use cream when you can.

    If washing dishes is a part of work there is no reason why they would not allow you to wear gloves, you may find them uncomfortabel for a while but once you get used to it your hands definatly appreciate it! :)
