Skin dryness & rashes due to handwash
Hi,
I was advised not to use hand sanitizer much & wear gloves while doing household works. After 2 months again there are dark itchy patches (this time black, unlike red as earlier) on the upper hands/fingers. And in addition to that the skin is peeling (palms) now.
Kindly suggest any tablet that won't have side effects , I have used moiz cream and nivea cream as moisturize but the condition continues.
