I just had 2 sutures removed from hand. my hand is really dry. is there any kind of lotion i can put on. thank you for the help and response.

Moisturizing lotion: Assuming your wound is healed, any moisturizing lotion is good. Avoid those which are overly perfumed or contain alcohol (stearate alcohol is ok). Hands often peel after injury as the swelling resolves, areas that are numb will tend to be dry also. I do not have all the details of your injury, so it is best to ask you doctor for specific recommendations.
