Bit of a question about the hands? why so dry as i age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DREMATITIS SICCA: The hands are the most used part of the body.Due to our busy schedule, we tend to abuse it by not taking good care of it. No lotions, we use extremes of temperatures so the oil glands in our skin can not cope up with our chores. During old age , they not only dry up but become deformed with arthritis.
