I have an OCD with hand-washing. I'm perfectly fine with having it and all, but it makes my hands crack and bleed. (However, this may also be because I have hyperhidrosis- I'm not 100% sure anymore.) What I'd like to know is if anyone knows of any certain lotions that will not make them hurt as much or kind of slow the cracking and bleeding thing? I appreciate any help oodles. Smile

My family members swear by Curel. I don't know if you've ever heard of that but it works for most people. If your hands are really cracked, try petroleum jelly (or vasline). It really helps dry skin retain moisture (oh wow don't i sound like a commercial?)

Hope that helps.

God bless!
