Hello Ma'am, In a situation like this, the best treatment is as follows: Buy woolen gloves (white if possible); Before you go to bed, apply Vaseline™ to your hands and put on the gloves; That's it! In 2 to 3 days, you should see a marked improvement in your symptoms. Use this technique for at least 2 weeks before judging in its total effectiveness. During the day, avoid washing your hands with very hot water or handling chemicals. You can also apply a "normal" hand cream during the day if you feel your hands are dry despite the nighttime technique. It's a pleasure, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
