Stinging can occur when first applying SmartLotion®. For instructions on how to reduce the stinging, please click here.

Symptoms:

Tiny, fluid-filled blisters that appear on the palms and fingers or soles of the feet. Can be itchy.

Recovery:

Dr. Harlan typically treats his adult patients for dyshidrotic eczema by having them apply SmartLotion® 3-4x per day for up to 4 weeks.

As long as the patient sees improvement during the initial 4 weeks, after 4 weeks he typically recommends tapering down by 1 application per day for 2 weeks then by 1 application per day for another 2 weeks, and on until they have tapered off completely. The rate of tapering should vary based on how quickly the rash is healing.

If the patient does not see improvement within the first 4 weeks, he will prescribe them a stronger treatment for 3 weeks to help with initial control and recovery before switching back to SmartLotion®.

Prevention:

To prevent dyshidrotic eczema outbreaks, Dr. Harlan tells his adult patients to maintain a routine of applying SmartLotion® 1x per day or less as needed.

Some patients require intervals of 2x and 1x every other day SmartLotion® applications for complete flare-up control. Some patients require 1 application per day, and some only require 3 applications per week.

This is why long-term safety was so important to Dr. Harlan when he formulated SmartLotion®. For whatever maintenance schedule his patients require, he wanted to ensure that there would be no chance of side effects. Rest assured, SmartLotion® is 100% safe for long term use, as demonstrated in his peer-reviewed safety study.
