Got home from the dentist at 1. I managed to book with another doctor at the practice that I had been going to. He was great and managed to save the tooth which did have a cavity in it. 311 dollars poorer but it was worth it.

I think I’m gonna go to the store and get some gloves.

My hands are so bloody and dry

I’ve tried putting Neosporin on them a couple times cause I figured I shouldn’t put the hand lotion on open wounds but I seriously might have to cause I don’t think the Neosporin penetrates deep enough.

Or else I just need to remember to put it on every day and not occasionally.

Either way, think I’m going to get gloves so I can put it on and let it soak in cause otherwise I can’t do anything cause it gets all over my fingers and everything. This way I can still do stuff.

Also probably should stop washing my hands a million times a day and/or stop using dish soap

But it’s also cause it’s so cold cause summer it doesn’t do it and I do the same thing.

I must have missed something. Why are your hands bleeding?

I use gloves for everything. Rubber gloves when cleaning and dish washing (not the same pair), and garden gloves for outdoor work and chicken chores (not the same pair). I have them everywhere. I even use the laytex gloves when I'm preparing raw meat or chicken.

If your hands are extraordinarily dry, I would recommend Corn Huskers Lotion.

Bag balm is also good for dry, chapped, raw hands.

My Daughter has eczema and sometimes uses cotton gloves with moisturizer or a cortisone cream on her hands at night.

I use this when my hands get dry in the winter and put it on at night:

Thank you everyone!! I’ll have to try all of those things!! I have some Vaseline lotion. Think it’s like intensive care advanced repair or something like that and I think it’s unscented and it usually works pretty well but I always either forget to put it on or don’t want to since I can’t use my phone need to maybe do it right before bed and put the phone down for the night. But I also wasn’t sure if it was safe to use since they are cracked open and bleeding??

And @ValerieJ you didn’t miss anything. I never posted about. They’re not like gushing blood or anything but they are extremely dry and thick, almost like elephant skin or something and because of it they’ve cracked, mostly along the knuckles and between my thumbs, and bled. It’s pretty painful, especially when I bend my hands, but I hate putting anything on because then I can’t get anything done. Not just not using the phone, that’d be fine, but it gets grease all over everything. I thought maybe if I got gloves I could put something on now instead of at night. Although sometimes the gloves have leaked before so

We used to have a ton of gloves but now we don’t have any so idk where they all went haha

I should probably start wearing gloves just around the house and stuff too because I’m also a bit OCD and wash my hands a million times a day I will even wash them, accidentally touch something weird, and have to wash them again sometimes. so between that and using the dish soap, plus winter, it’s really dried them out.
