Dry Hand advice

[Blueberry]

I don't know if this would help or not. With my competition kettlebell work I have to stay on top of my hands and calluses. The best cream I've found is actually sold in Lowes, and it is inexpensive since it is marketed for men. It is called O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream and it pretty much rocks. I also have very sensitive skin on my hands and am very happy with this.

+1 on this stuff. My dermatologist recommended it for my dry feet, and I put it in holiday stockings last year. My whole family loves it now - and it has actually managed to heal small psoriatic patches on my elbows my dermatologist had recommended another, much more expensive cream for. It's not really a heavy cream either - sort of an odd texture.

Blueberry and Catrin, you just solved a medical mystery for me. I had this red, perfectly rectangular patch on the bottom of my right foot, since June. Then it became itchy and then scaly, then the scaliness spread to the surrounding area. First, I thought it was athlete's foot, treated it as such for 3-4 weeks. At times, the itching was unbearable. Certain shoes/sandals seem to make it worse. I've been avoiding going to my doctor I hate, or a podiatrist or dermatologist. It started getting better in the past 2 weeks, and yesterday, I realized it wasn't itching. I've also noticed slight patches of it in the middle of my palms, and it's worse after I ride. I wear gloves with absolutely no padding most of the time and I have gone up 2 sizes, since I started riding.
So, I believe I have psoriasis and I just ordered some of that O'Keefe's stuff from Amazon.

So, I believe I have psoriasis

Could be eczema too. I get it in different forms on various parts of my body. Baby-powdering my hands before I put on MC gloves helps reduce humidity inside the gloves. Nübütte is wonderful for my butt for both prevention and healing; it's a terrific healing salve for any type of rash or abrasion. Cortisone cream if it gets super bad on my hands, but it rarely gets that bad, just ugly and embarrassing.

It's definitely not eczema. One of my kids has it and so does my brother, and my issue is different. My foot is getting scalier and less red, and less itching. In fact, I only notice it at night occasionally. I tried cortisone as one of my trials and it did nothing. It's definitely related to heat and/or humidity. It started in mid to late may.
