My hands are soooo cracked too. Bloody spots literally. No lotion has fixed it.

Read labels. Don't use lotions containing alcohol.

Okay I’ll check for that. Thanks.

I also have to be careful what soaps I use for washing my hands or dishes in the winter. I've found that "natural" soaps like they sell in health food stores (sometimes more becoming available in Walmart, etc.) work better than regular dish soap. My thumbs haven't developed that crack by the nail this year yet!

I do everything I can to protect my hands. I usually wear gloves to handle raw meat, for example, or messy vegetables like onions. That way I'm not constantly washing my hands.

It sucks being a "professional dishwasher" now, and finding out that I am allergic to both the detergent/sanitizers we use, AND the latex gloves that I have to work with those chemicals.

Your employer has to provide gloves that you can use. It's all part of PPE

I use nitrile gloves. I'm not allergic to latex, but a member of my household is.

I constantly wash my hands. Maybe that’s part of the problem
