Healing sanitiser damage

Try rubbing ivermectin on them.

Seriously, have you never heard of hand lotion?

Stop sanitizing. It's airborne, not handborne.

R2 well, duh, but it’s a bit late now. In the first 6-10 months of the pandemic, we were still getting told it could come from surfaces and touch.

Damage done, lesson learned. Now I just want to know what cream or balm or lotion or whatever will help.

Amlactin to exfoliate and moisturize at night, a cream with hyaluronic acid to plump it up during the day, and sunscreen.

The nails are generally about nutrition.

Get pair of old gloves or mittens or if you like buy some of those dishwashing gloves in a size way bigger than your hands. Gardening gloves work too. What you want to do is slather your hands in petroleum jelly, not a little like SLATHER. Then put your hands in the glove of choice and watch tv or do something that does not require your hands for at least an hour. Then after an hour wipe your hands clean or wash with a moisturising soap. Do this once a week.

r5 is correct. Get a biotin supplement if your nails are brittle, yellow, thin.

Drink lotsa water and use this hand cream together with Vaseline petroleum jelly.

The problem with most hand creams is, you rub it in and then a half hour later your hands feel dry again. Get something like Vanicream or lanolin, apply it and then wait for it to sink in, no gloves. Takes at least 15-20 minutes so plan ahead. You’ll need to do it a few times a day.

I got these horrible and unsightly red semicircles on my hands so I freaked out and went to the doctor and they ran every test known to man. Turns out it is granuloma anularis. Gave me some gel-like cortisone cream but it never gets absorbed and I have to put it on during the day and the night. Well during the day I wash my hands and at night it gets wiped off on the bed sheets so....lost cause.

Go serve a meal to a homeless person you tiresome bitch.

try Neutrogena Fisherman's Friend hand cream.............the secret is to wet your hands slightly, apply a tiny amount (pea-sized) NFF on them rub it in then wait about 2 minutes for them to dry..............best I have ever used..........

can I have your stuff?

Fisherman’s Friend are throat lozenges.

Did you mean Neutrogena Norwegian Formula?

^^^^^^^^^^sorry, I am hungover, yes I mean Norwegian Formula

Use a gentle hand soap and rub in aloe vera gel after every wash.

My neck, my back, my pussy, and my crack!

Vitamin E oil or any cream with almond oil.

Wish I could help you, OP, but my hands are as smooth as a baby's ass.

Making sure I was hydrated was the first step for me in getting rid of those cracks you get at the knuckles and next to the nails.

Curel Dry Hand Relief with Vitamin E at least once a day (before bed, preferrably) and Curel Ultra Moisturizing several times during the day. I like Amlactin for dry spots on my legs and back, but it didn't help with my hands or elbows, and it also smells like glue.

OP & R10. The solution is to slather on lotion or cortisone/healing ointment, then put on disposable NITRILE gloves. My dermatologist recommended cotton gloves, but they become useless when you have to wash your hands.

Probably not practical to wear disposable gloves at some places of work, but it's useful if you're at home. With the nitrile gloves on, you can wash your hands as many times as you like. You can apply plenty of hand sanitizer. Your hands will be protected from damage and the lotion/ointment will remain undisturbed.

I'm a bit OCD with handwashing. I also get eczema flareups if I'm not careful and if I use latex gloves. Wearing disposable gloves over lotion when I'm at home and also at bedtime protects my hands and keeps the skin from drying out. Should I need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, it's no problem. The gloves don't allow water to get inside. Your hands may get sweaty underneath the gloves, but that's a minor inconvenience.

Also, if your feet are cracked, apply thick lotion or even Vaseline, then wear cotton socks to bed.

so mans R21 walks around his house in gloves all the time like a goalie?😂

Eucerin creme can be found in drug stores.

R21 - thanks so much. I just ordered some. I swear, they checked for ringworm, for HIV (!!!) despite me saying I was negative, for hepatitis and everything before they came to conclusion of granuloma anularis. Even burning the things off didn't work and it's embarrassing. I would like to wear the ring my late partner gave me and my signet (once in awhile) but I wear none and nothing that calls attention to it. The leather and bracelet with a bit of stainless steel my roommate got me has been in my drawer because I am embarrassed and don't want to draw attention to my ugly hands.

r21 pretty much what I said :)

R10, it's no consolation by I developed vitiligo (the Michael Jackson skin condition, autoimmune) when I was 37. It spread pretty slowly, but now the tops of my hands and the skin above and below my eyes are starting to depigment in earnest.

I hate it. I think it's ugly. But things could always be worse.

R26 - are you African-American? Isn't it possible to cover with makeup?

You're soaking in it. In dish washing liquid! Relax, it's Palmolive.

Salve. Burt’s Bees has a good one.

Whie gloves. But only until Labor Day, then swith to brown or black.

Avoid topical steroids at all costs, they will you even more misery.
