My hack: buy a box of cheap, single use plastic gloves, and when you watch TV or even for sleep, put any moisturizer or even oil on your hand, pull on the gloves, and just let your skin "marinate" for at least 30 mins, but the longer, the better. Repeat every few days or as needed. The gloves stop your skin from soaking up the cream too quickly, and will super-boost your hidration. You can even add actual outdoor gloves on top, the warmth also helps the hidration. Also works with coarse and dry feet, except I use foil or plastic bags to wrap them up, and put socks on.

This gave me chronic eczema that persists to this day. :)

Funny because I clicked on the picture and I’m like hey I have that right now due to using new gloves which had the powder thing in it. And it caused my hand to get like op hands. I have eczema too.

I also have a latex allergy, but it only hits sometimes? It’s weird. Gloves I’m fine, some bandaids I am not. I wish it would make up its mind.

You might be allergic to the adhesive rather than (or in addition to) the latex. I have a family member whose skin reacts to a lot of adhesives on bandaids and medical tape.

Thanks, I’ll dig a little deeper.

I just use lotion several times a day especially after hand washing. That should solve regular dryness issues.

They’re more like mild hives, not dryness.
