how to heal dry cracked bleeding hands?

Answer 1

They make a lotion called Carmol. You may have to ask for it at the pharmacy although it is not prescription. It contains urea which helps soften and heal the skin. Look it up on the Internet. It's a bit pricey. About $20 a tube but it works wonders.

Answer 2

Take a combination of bacitracin or any antibiotic ointment and vaseline and mix it and rub on your hands and put clean white socks on at night and let them heal. Don't wash hands and go outside, dry very well after washing. You may want to put a good dry skin lotion on like vaseline intensive care or something like that. If you have a fungal infection this won't work so try it for a few weeks and see. Then if it doesn't work buy an antifungal cream, for athletes feet and use it instead of the antibiotic cream. Cortisone cream may help the cracks too. Good luck.

Answer 4

Use a super thick moisturizer. My husband works outside all day and his hands get really dry, he swears by Bath & Body Works Body Butter. Hurts to start using it when your hands are already cracked but works really well in the long run.

Answer 5

try washing your hands in warm water and dabbing dry, then moisterize with vaseline. if you have any type of sleeping gloves, (these are usually those thin cotton gloves found in the drug store or beauty supply) put them on while you sleep. if you have allergies you should consult your doctor and ask for a perscription for a medicated cream to heal the bleeding.

Answer 6

Get Eucerin cream in the jar and 1% hydrocortisone cream. Put cortisone cream on first and rub in well and then put Eucerin cream over top. Put on a pair of white gloves and sleep with those on. You will notice a difference in the morning and if you do this each night for a week, you will really notice a difference. If you don't have gloves, put a pair of white socks on your hands, anything to keep the cream on your hands and not on your sheets.

Answer 7

Try putting a thick layer of vaseline on your hands and sleeping with gloves on over it. I know it sounds crazy, i thought so too until I tried it. Do this for a week or so and see if it helps. This also works really well for dry feet too.

Answer 8

I have the same problem! Especially around the winter months my hands do the exact same thing. I have actually found that hand lotion at least twice a day will help significantly ( and it makes your hands nice and smooth!). I suggest that you purchase (or perhaps you already have something) a good hand moisturizer and apply it to your hands at least twice a day. You will see improvement in less than a week guaranteed.

Answer 9

I use Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Healing Lotion on mine and it always works for me.

Answer 10

get some really good hand lotion -- like a vaseline brand healing lotion and lube up your hands often until they get better. don't let them get to the bleeding stage next time. moisturize!
