As a nurse, you get use to washing your hands all the time. At work it is hard to use anything on a regular basis, but at home there are two that Dr.'s recommend for sensitive skin and allergies. Eucerin and Lubriderm creams. Lotions are too runny, you need a cream that sticks to the skin and can be worked in. What ever you use should have a high lanolin content. That is the good fat that helps. Using the cream before you go to bed and put on white gloves will help the most. If you continue to have problems, see a dermatologist (skin allergy doctor).
Let us know how you do. Others with the same problems might like to know and don't feel comfortable talking on the website.
