Since I was about 11 EVERY SINGLE TIME my hands get wet, they bother me. Enough that if I don't use hand lotion I will go into a panick until I find some. It doesn't hurt, but the feeling is like my finger prints have doubled, and I feel like my skin went as dry as leather. I've gotten so bad that I DO NOT wash my hands at all during the day...no matter what. And if I know I'll be getting wet (shower or swimming) I make SURE I have lotion around. Even lotion doesn't cure it 100%, only time does that, and it's usually 30 minutes to an hour.
Any Dermatologists out there who have heard of a similar condition? I've had it for like 19 years.
I hate bathing my kids with rubber gloves. And, I would love the idea of actually wanting to go swimming. Right now when I hear swimming, all I think about are my hands.
It bothers my feet some too, but not nearly as bad. And if I put socks on and make my feet sweat, it's not so bad. Someone help!!
