I have dry chapped, flaky fingers due to contact with washing powder. tried hydrocortione cream for 2 wks, sudocream and avoidance. not improved. help?

Dry skin: Dry skin often results from irritating exposures from soaps and chemicals. Stopping the exposure such as by wearing gloves is imperative. Maintaining a diet and appropriate hydration. Rather than Hydrocortisone or other creams try using unrefined organic coconut oil or 100% pure aloe Vera gel which both work well for healthy moist skin and can be applied safely as needed.
