What Is The Cause And Treatment For Excessive Dryness Of Hands?
Hello! my uncle has very bad dry hands. He lives in a little town in Italy, and no doctor can help him. They ve given him many different lotions and creams to put on his hands but nothing seems to work. He has very very dry hands. On his finger tips he even starts bleeding because the skin breaks and cracks open. Not only that, but he says its very painful. He drops his phone continuously because his hands hurt. I have some pictures as well if you d like. I just really want him to find a cure or a correct diagnosis.
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....
see skin pattern varies from person to person....maybe your uncle has dry skin...and now you are saying that the skin is drying much more and even fissures happen and he bleeds...probably it should increase during winter...
i would advise you to send me the pictures.... for now apply moisturisers twice daily...and apply aloe vera or urea creams also twice daily....it should help a lot....
hope this was useful... i would be able to tell you further with the pictures....
regards
