Amlactin works really well.  It is over the counter.

Aloe. Try a lotion that is mostly aloe. I had a really bad sunburn, REALLY bad from head to toe when I was 14, kept me up for like 2 days straight. Didn't get any relief until I put aloe all over my body. Instant relief and it went away and healed SO quick I was amazed. Buy an aloe plant too. They are good for when you get a burn on your finger or a cut, you can break the leave in half and inside it's full of pure aloe, and it's pretty cool. It has pretty cool healing powers.

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

Ask a pharmacist.  They can give you some very good suggestions until you can see your doctor.  Calamine lotion might work.

Assuming you are not joking. Try soaking your hand in acetone based nail polish remover. Soaking in warm water also helps to break the bond, as your skin softens

Calalmine lotion is good for a mild case.  There are also over the counter hydrocortisone creams that will help with the itch and redness and for a really, really bad case (I hope for your sake not) like with blisters you can get some prescription steroid anti-inflammatory medicine from your doctor.  Don't scratch!

Exfoliating is the answer. There are scrubs and mittens that do the trick. Speak to a dermatologist or speak to your pharmacist they can help. good luck :-)

Sounds like dry skin from the winter cold and wind.\nI like St. Eves formula skin lotions. They are the only ones that work for me and are not greesy.\nGold Bond Ultra Lotion has been advertised alot lately and it be it works as this type has been around a long long time. Hope to try it out.\nMake sure you exfoliate your legs in the shower or bath. This gets the dead skin cells off so you dont itch so much. Just make sure you put the lotion on right after you get out.

There are prescription meds that help.  I recently read about Botox injections helping sweaty hands.  Trying an antiperspirant applied to your palms may help and it won't cost much.

first of all, this isn't a question it is a remedy for an untested method. be careful using ice, since if you leave it on for too long you can get frostbite.\n\nsecond, if you are able to, soak the areas of your body in ocean water. my neighbors son had really bad eczema and she would bathe him in it just about every night. within a few months it was gone and it never came back or got worse.

Definitely use Burt's Bees Chapstick.  It's way better than the rest.  And use it consistently in the winter, not just when your lips start getting chapped.

yeah I know how you feel...and on the hand is the worst because the bandaids just won't stick there.\nI use a combo of things that are helping.\nwash with Dial antibacterail bar soap several x a day\nlotion with the cream the dermatolgist perscribed\nand apply a thin layer ot hydrocorizone w/moisture plus\nlotion with regular lotion during the day\nAvenno and St Ives seems to be working the best for me

The other answrs are correct, there IS less humidity because the cold air does not hold the moisture in the air.  This often causes dry skin and local irritation.  \n\nThings to do to manage this problem:\n\n#1  Drink More Fluids, water is the best choice for this.\n\n#2  If desired, use a humidifier in your home.  \n\n**This is actually suggested by physicians because mucus membranes (the skin in your mouth and nose) dry out creating cracks in the skin and thereby provide easier access to micro-organisms (bacteria/virus') to get into your body to make you sick.\n\n#3  Use moisturizers often on your skin and hands (especially if you wash your hands often).\n\n  Lubriderm is a suggested product and is used by many medical facilitites.  The best time to use any lotion is after you bath or shower as the skin can absorb and use the moisturizer very well at that point.\n\n#4  Use tepid water or luke warm water to wash.  Hot water actually removes more of your body's natural oils thereby drying your skin out more.\n\n#5 Reduce the number of shower/baths you take (if you are able to) as this washing leads to drier skin.

I recommend Cryosurgery as it worked for me!   \n\n"Treatments that may be prescribed by a medical professional include:\n\nImiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production \n\nCandida injections at the site of the wart, which also stimulate the body's immune system\n \nCryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself. \n\nCryosurgery followed by surgically removing the infected spot. \n\nTreatment with chemical compounds, containing salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or Formaldehyde \n\nLaser treatment \n\nNone of these treatments are very effective on single uses; the wart often returns after the skin has healed from the treatment, but repeated treatment should get rid of the wart permanently. As they disappear after a few months and maximally a few years, treatment is necessary only if the lesions are painful or are a cosmetic problem."

I suffer from the problem also.  I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed elidel first which worked well for 3 months until my system became immune to it I've also tried pandel my system also became immune to it. the best thing I've found yet is St. Ives Apricot Scrub and a light moisturizer like cocoa butter
