I think it's an overall change that is needed. It will take some time, but you can get your hands healthy again. Start now by wearing task appropriate gloves for everything. Or just get a box of medical gloves. You can get latex free if you're allergic to that. You can easily put lotion on inside those. As for washing your hands too much, you need to stop using dish soap and find a delicate soap for the job, then just use a hand sanitizer if you think you've had your hands in something a gentle soap wont clean. These little disposable gloves can be used for every different job. I can take them off, folding them inside out as I do it, so that I'm not even touching the soiled glove.

Thank you!! Very helpful!! Gonna try this. Also gonna try to work on not washing my hands a million times too. Cause I also tend to use a million paper towels.

There were soooo many different lotions and everything it was impossible to decide

Finally settled on some Bag Balm and some Burts Bees hand salve since I couldn’t decide on one of the lotions

They all sounded good/useful!

Got some moisturizing cortisone cream too though.

And a bunch of gloves and natural soaps.

Probably went a bit crazy but I couldn’t decide on anything.

They didn’t really have many without fragrance even the natural ones but these did or it was natural fragrance/named it so I settled on them hah

Might have to hit up a craft fair or something and find some goats milk soap or something but for now I’ll just use these till they run out and forego the dish soap

Then this is the one I have at home so I didn’t get it but I’ll use that once my hands heal a bit. Thinking I’ll use the Neosporin or maybe cortisone tonight.

My hands used to chap, crack, and bleed in the winter. I tried most of the things recommended. None of it worked well. One day, I was applying A&D ointment to one of my daughters, and rubbed some onto my hands. It WORKED. It does best if you put it on heavy at night, especially with gloves on.
