In cold weather my hands (mainly on top over my knuckles) go really sore, dry, red and itchy. All cracked and bleeding now as well cause i scratched Is it just dry skin? My mum told me it was chilblains but googled and i'm not sure it is :/ Does anyone know any good creams for dry sore skin? Ive tried standard lotion but it hurts and hasn't really helped

Sounds a bit worse than dry skin tbh

I would go to the doctors, my dad used to get very cracked hands and they gave him some cream with cortisone and it was really good

or try one you can buy in the pharmacy? http://www.pharmacy2u.co.uk/hc45-hydrocortisone-acetate-cream-p4874.html?utm_source=sfeed&utm_medium=google&utm_term=hc45-hydrocortisone-acetate-cream&utm_campaign=main

Cannot recommend enough the Body Shop Henna Hemp handcream. Amazing! My hands cracked and bled when Caitlin was teeny and I was constantly washing my hands/bottles.

I completely agree with Snoops. The Body shop Hemp handcream is amazing! If you can, put a crap load on before going to bed and then put some cotton gloves on over the top and in the morning your hands will be soooo much better. x

Thanks ladies. Will get some bodyshop hemp handcream then, if it doesn't work off to the drs.

I used to have this when I worked in a nursery cos I was forever washing my hands, I went to Lush and they recommended a cream can't remember what its called though but if you go in and ask I'm sure they'll help you, it worked really well for me. Hope you find something that helps xx

I've had something similar from doing the dishes so much, ive got a 1% steroid cream from the doctors, clears it up quite quickly!

Could be a bit of exeama as i get this too. the weather doesn't help. the hemp cream is ace deffo that. other wise is a cream for exeama n keep on top of it really x
