What is the best lotion/cream for dry hands?

My fingers have been cracking so much in the past few months..Its getting so bad the skin breaks and it bleeds and I can't even put my hands under water too long because it burns... I went to the doctor but they are so stupid because nothing they gave me worked..They said it would go away but it isn't. I dont know what to do..


I think I had poison Ivy in May and thats when it started and never went away..They little white bubbles still come back sometimes..its so painful :(..I only have it on my fingers..nowhere else :((((What is the best lotion/cream for dry hands?
Nivea. It keeps your skin moisturized, but not greasy/oily. I use it in the winter when my knuckles get dry from the cold air. This stuff is definitely quality...What is the best lotion/cream for dry hands?
I would say just use Vaseline to really seal the moisture out from you hands. Or put a bit of olive oil in with your hand cream, to really make it moisturizing. But bubbling and burning under water sounds like you have burned skin. I don't know what that could be, but it sounds more serious than just using lotion. Maybe try another doctor?
I can recommend Udderly Smooth hand cream, you will have to order online or search for a stockist near you. This cream was originally developed for diary cows who got sore cracked udders!!! But it now has a light scent and is packaged for humans!!! It is non greasy, easily absorbed and really does help. I have a tube I keep in my handbag and a large tub I keep at home. If you search for their website it has customer reviews on there too.
Try filtering the water, it will be more gentle on your skin. You could also try washing your hands with Sensitive Wet Ones or baby wipes.
my hands crack at the knuckles and bleed on their own. i use every time i wash my hands vaseline intensive care only a little bit just on dry bits.
Try using a salve ointment.. Apply then put gloves on.. It is best to do this right before bed.. The gloves keep all the moisture in and keep the salve off your sheets...
