It sounds like you have a form of eczema called chronic hand dermatitis.
I order "Aveeno Advanced Care Cream" from drugstore.com - it must say Advanced Care or it doesn't have the necessary ceramides. It isn't available
in my local pharmacies - they only carry the regular Aveeno moisturizing lotion.Using this in the AM and the PM with gloves I heal fairly well and can abandon the bandaids.
It may not be the sewing that is irritating your hands. I had to change to
Green Mountain Soap for my shampoo before I really healed. You might need
to see a good dermatologist for advice. I assume you use gloves for dish
washing, etc.
Good luck - Judy
