Thank you for your answer! The situation you prescribe is called hand dermatitis or hand eczema. When I have a similar patient I first check if there is a bacterial or fungal infection overlapping the eczema, because they are usually due to persistent dryness and scratching. So I suggest you do an examination for fungi or bacteria if you also see other lesions on your hands. I would reccommend washing your hands not very often which means twice or 3 times per day with a mild solution designed for atopic skin or o soap with emollients such as Avene cold cream bar soap, Exipial or Eucerin 2-3 times a day. If the situation is complicated you should talk to your physician for a prescription of Hydrocortisone cream 0,1% 2 times a day for 2 weeks. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me again.
