Jam, I do have hand dermatitis. When I worked at elem school librarian...dust dust dust...I had to go to derm to get medicine...even put me on anitbiotics, too. Took a week off from work! He said w/my hobby and career...no way to cure but only manage. Told me to use hand CREAMS not lotions and worked for awhile.
Looked up Psoriasis and may have it. Itchy patches on legs started a month ago. Have to travel out of state in June so will go back to the doc when I retun and show him my hands AND legs. Making a consiioius (sp) effert today to drink more water and using more cream.
And yes knew about the super glue! I have a tube at home and at work. Helps the split but not the cause. I know when the skin splits cuze it hurts. Bummer.
Mom's wound nurse gave her "Once a Day Moisturizing Body Cream" by Coloplast that does wonders on her extreemly dry skin on her legs. I've started to use it too. First ingredient is glycerine!
Thanks againg to everyone who has responded. Didn't realize there were so many of us out there!
