From excessive hand washing, my knuckles have become extremely chapped. what should i do?

Reduce washing and: First, you must minize the cause..Which is excessive washing. Then, add mositurizer..Use some that has a bit more grease. Topical Hydrocortisone may help..But this cream is quite weak, so you may need a script from your doc for a stronger one. But above all, avoid excessive washing. Wear gloves to do your work so u will need less washing..Goog luck.
