A member asked:
The skin on the back of my hands turns red and hurts when ever it is exposed to cold. it becomes dark and rough and burns when i apply any moisturizer?

Common: This is common and wearing gloves can help. There is a condition known as Raynaud's syndrome in which the blood vessels react excessively to the clod but it does not usually cause the skin changes you describe. Pure lanolin is usually very effective and less irritating for the chapping. Hope this helps.
