Protect: Avoid things that make you break out, soaps & wetness. Wash your hands only when necessary. Wear gloves when needed. Wear clothes made of cotton. Bathe only with a small amount of mild unscented soap, such as dove. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot! use the medicine your doctor gave you. Use a plain moisturizer daily. Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy area. Manage stress.

Dry Skin Care: To improve your skin you must moisturize more frequently. Consider using a thick emollient, such as vaseline ointment at night with gloves on top of the hands. Reducing the amount of soap you use and the amount you wash your hands will also help. If your condition does not improve with the above, consider seeing a dermatologist for medicated treatments.
