Hi there.
I take it from the text that this is a concerned spouse who placed this question on behalf of the affected gentleman. I read your history in detail. It would be a big help madam if you could please upload a clear photograph of the affected hands to be of more help to you. Also, while I do understand you may have used 'n' number of creams, could you please list the ones you felt have helped your husband. Again, when did this issue begin exactly & is he on any other medication for any other ailment? Also please take care to ensure his 'naturopathy' medications' are gluten-free.
