As long as onme keep: The hands clean and avoids having the lotion become occlusive, trapping dirt and debris in the wounds. Id wash hand in a mild soap first and dry then off well especially in colder climates. Dry hands could also be an allergic reaction to many things, as well as a manifestation of skin or autoimmune or endocrine disorders so talk about it with your pcp. Avoid hand lotion with alcohols ouch!
