I have an assortment of different hand creams, and if my hands are very dry (which they seem to be all the time now), they ALL sting and feel like they are burning my hands. Sometimes the backs of my hands will go all red like they actually are burnt (not even like sunburn, serious looking hot water burns!), and I have to go and literally try to scrub the cream out of my skin. And I have never had sensitive skin like this before!
The only thing that doesn't burn is J&J baby sorbolene, so I have filled a small bottle of that and put it in my bag too.
And the skin on the sides of my thumbs and first fingers is so rough, I feel like I need to go and hand-sand an entire car with wet and dry sandpaper! Funny thing, when I was working on cars (body work), I had terrific skin on my hands. Go figure! (Oh, and no fingerprints! )
I get really bad, dry scaly dermatitis on my hands, especially on my knockles and even my palms get very dry.
The only cream I have used thats been much help at all is Crabtree and Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy.
I get in on ebay for about $16 for a 100ml tube, Im not sure what it retails for.
