Re: Help for EXTREME dry hands, please.......

All the years I worked we had to wash our hands excessively. If we walked out of one patients room and into another we were required to wash our hands as we exited one room and again as we entered the next - even if we had just washed them 5 seconds ago. And each wash had to be at least 30 sec(or the length of time it takes to sing happy Birthday). needless to say our hands were like raw meat most of the time. The best creme i ever found was L'occataine Shea creme. Now i am retired and for the first time in 40+ years my hands are not chapped , bleeding and painful. Now at 65 my hands look like they are 80. i wish i knew a solution to this for nurses - whoever comes up with one would easily make a fortune.

Creepy and inappropriate sales pitch.

First use Neosporin or some other anti bacterial. Until you heal them, no lotion will work. Then use one of the good lotions or creams to keep them in good shape. I have this situation at least once per winter.


I agree. Often bacteria get into little skin cracks and fissures and cause inflammation and pain. Massaging Neosporin into your hands several times a day will help get this under control. Then use a good healing, moisturing lotion several times a day. Cut back on excessive hand-washing, using harsh cleaning products without gloves, etc. Hope those hands are soft and smooth very soon!

Aquaphor, for sure. Medical/dental professionals who are constantly washing their hands use it religiously. I know.

My suggestion is Carmex. I use the one in the small jar from the drugstore. At bedtime smear Carmex all over your hands and either wear special gloves to cover or white, cotton socks. Carmex really works. My lips were chapped due to medication and I placed the Carmex on them at bedtime and they were healed in the morning. It may take a couple of treatments for you, depending on how badly chapped you are. Good luck. Carmex is the best.

My son has eczema and we use Cortizone 10 Intensive Healing Formula when our skin gets that bad.
