Suggest Treatment For A Dry Rash On The Hands
I am a 56 year old grandma and for the past four months I suffered a rashe that started on the side of my hands. It started out itchy and spread all over the top of my hands and finger. With over the counter meds the top cleared up but looks like dry leather. On the sides of both hands has thickening skin crusty and dark in color. Very embarrassing. I picked at them tears the skin. Any suggestion? Thanks
