My hands suffer from eczema, and washing dishes obviously makes it worse. Are their any gloves that don't puncture after a week of use?

Not a coincidence! Your phone knows everything.

I also have the eczema only on my hands and made much worse by getting them wet and being in the cold. Any cream recommendations?

I use Grease Monkey Pro Cleaning Long Cuff Neoprene gloves for cleaning around the house.
They're pretty tuff and they last.

These Korean gloves are much more durable according to my wife.

As much as I want there to be BIFL dishwashing gloves, I can’t help but think that they’re a product that will invariably catch on a knife or something and tear after a few weeks regardless of how well made they are

Which is precisely why you should get a chainmail glove cover!

I use these for all kinds of stuff around my little farm. They’re probably almost a year old, well used and look like brand new. Very comfortable to wear and decent dexterity.

Go to your hardware store and search gloves that are chemical safe. Mine have been in use for over a year!

These are the type I get...2 years and going! If you have nails, then tucking a tiny bit if cotton at each tip will help the gloves last longer.

I got these because I posted a similar request on the zero waste sub. They’ve been going strong for months of daily use and show no signs of wear besides some mild staining. I would highly recommend these!!!

I just ordered these. Thanks for the link.

You’re gonna love them! I thank mine all the time for keeping my hands soft and holding up to anything.

came here to post the same link. I have one pair for chopping vegetables, and a separate one for dishes. I got severe eczema last year on both my hands, and trust me keeping your hands dry make such a BIG difference.
My eczema is under control now, but I continue to use these. Good luck!

I have the same problem and use these: https://www.target.com/p/clorox-ultra-comfort-gloves-medium/-/A-78362269. These gloves have lasted longer than any other dishwashing gloves I’ve used - I only just replaced a pair that I had been using consistently for several months. I also like the fit - they don’t make me feel clumsy like some other gloves do.

My favorite are the O-Cedar by Playtex. I’d say I still go through about 6 pairs a year though but totally worth it!

Honestly I use a long dish brush to keep my hands mostly out of the water. But I’ve had a couple pair of these Casabella ones around and they last for years.

I would avoid any latex gloves. Latex allergies develop with repeated exposure. Given you already have sensitive skin, I would avoid something that has a decent chance of causing you significantly worse and serious issues.
I just order some latex free cleaning gloves from Amazon and unless you are stabbing them with knives while washing, they really shouldn’t rip or anything.

The Mr. Clean flocked gloves lasted nearly a whole year at my house, but I haven't been able to find them again in my area.

Not gloves but have you tried changing detergents?

I love these gloves. No one knows about these but these are gems. Learned about this from a cleaning channel:
Kitchen-Star Ultimate Rubber Household PVC Gloves https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CFXSN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Best advice I ever got on Reddit was about dishwashing gloves. Usually one hand always punctures first, so after two pairs you are left with two left handed gloves, turn one of them inside out and you now have a pair of gloves again.

You can chuck any rubber gloves you find into the wash! We also ran ours through the dryer when I worked custodial at a college

Wear a layer of cotton gloves underneath your latex/rubber/waterproof gloves. The cotton absorbs any sweat so your hands remain dry (good for eczema) and prevents your nails from ripping up the outer gloves too quickly.

Kinda random but I shit you not I was going to post this same exact post a couple days ago eczema and all. My phone also randomly alerted me of this post. Super weird
