Dyshidrotic Eczema From Melatonin!

I'm 32 years old and randomly/ suddenly developed dyshidrotic eczema about a year ago. This has been one of the most frustrating and irritating experiences of my life! Not coincidentally, this started a couple months after I began taking my wife's melatonin to help sleep, as any parent can relate. I'm posting this to help others after solving this 11 month mystery. stop taking melatonin and you'll be cured in a month.

The eczema came in waves. Week 1, bubbles would form under my skin between my fingers and top of palms. Week 2, you cant stop itching and scratching. Week 3, your fingers bleed and swell. Week 4, they begin healing. THEN IT STARTS ALL OVER!

I tried steroid cream, eczema cream, everything. Then one day a colleague mentions her husband has the same symptons after trying melatonin. I'd already switched from every soap, shampoo, etc so what the hell. I stopped taking melatonin and I was cured!
