Always moisturize your skin with a lotion, even before bed.





Avoid strong, drying hand and bath soaps.





Avoid using too hot of water when bathing or washing hands.





Are you allergic to latex (as in cleaning gloves)?





Are you allergic to something you are cleaning with in your home or are you allergic to something at work?





If you live in a cold climate, wear gloves outside.





Go to the drugstore and get a low-dose, non-prescription cortisone cream or ointment and dab that only on the part of your hands giving you trouble. See if that helps.





Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on the cracked part of the skin might help you heal faster and ease any stinging.

It's possible you have eczema.


That sort of sounds like the patch I have on my foot.
Reply:You could try and soothe it with moisturiser or other creams for dry/chapped skin. Stay away from harsh soaps. If you go to your pharmacy they might have some suggestions as well.
Reply:I have the same thing man dry around the joints I've tried allot of things the best thing for me is aloe extreme moisture lotion

Reply:Dry skin problems respond well to self-care measures, such as using moisturizers and avoiding long, hot showers and baths. If you have very dry and scaly skin, your doctor may recommend you use an all-natural cream that contains natural oils that gives soothing and glowing results.





In a more serious skin disease, such as ichthyosis or psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe prescription creams and ointments or other treatments in addition to home care.





Dry skin leads to dermatitis, which causes red, itchy skin. In these cases, treatment may include lotions with natural-oil ingredients. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings with mildly astringent properties to contract your skin and reduce secretions and prevent infection.

Reply:soothe dry skin with an all natural skin care moisturizer. this can help keep the skin moist all day. stay away from factors that can rob moisture out of the body like dry air, too much exposure to the sun and humidity.
