Sounds like a condition called Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.  It most commonly occurs during times of anxiety, stress or when your sympathetic nervous system is stimulated i.e. fight or flight or adrenaline rushes. You can treat this condition with topicals such as aluminum chloride (Drysol) or antiperspirants.  There are other treatments which include orals, injections and even surgery.  A dermatologist would be able to help you with this situation.  Best of luck!

If you're talking about what I think you are, you have calluses.  You get them from using your hands a lot for gripping.  You can get them from driving too.  All they are is thicker skin where your hands are abraded more often.  Try some intense dry skin lotion to soften them, and when your are doing work with the palms of your hands, wear gloves.  Hope this helps!

i'm guessing, its dried soap.. or your skin is really dry..

It could be just wicked dry skin.  Maybe try some lotion.  If that doesn't work, my guess would be psoriasis.  (I'm not sure I spelled that right.)

When winter months set in, drier weather does also, causing your skin to become more dry and itchy. At my house, we use a humidifier to put moisture back into the house to counteract the drying air from heat.  Also try a body cream. Lotions are lighter but creams at night are heavier and lock in moisture better. \n\nIf this doesn't work, you could also try seeing your doctor. You may have a more serious condition such as exema.\n\nHope this helps!

It sounds like hives, an allergic reaction to something, also known as contact dermatitis.  These hives can last up to 6 weeks!  I know I got them on my legs from god knows what.  If they get worse or if they are just bugging you you should see a doc and they can give you oral and/or topical medication to clear it up.

You could have dry skin.  Maybe you are using a product that doesn't agree with you.

I used to get really sweaty palms every spring.   I went to the doctor and he prescribed medicine which made it worse! I believe the cause is nerves..I dont have time to worry about it now so it went away on its own!\n\nAll and all, I think sweaty palms is a response to anxiety, stress, or fear, ie an emotional cue.  I think the best cure is mind over matter.

I hope you shall feel better.\nYour skin sensitivity could be due to your immune system fighting/isolating the wrong thing. You should definitely see your doctor, even an over the phone conversation with your doc. could help you get a better understanding of the situation.\nAll the best

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

Your hands can become dry and flaky from all the water and soap, so they can get white and/or red spots. If you can stand to have something on your hands between washings, try Corn Husker's lotion or Neutrogena Hand Treatment- those items work well on hands that are often in water. Plus, try to gently distract yourself with another activity when you get the urge to wash.

I had something similar on the back of my arm. Do you have dry skin? My doctor said it was due to dry skin. Dead skin builds up aroud a hair folicle and it creates a sort of rash. Try light exfoliation in the shower, followed by baby oil on wet skin.

Usually it comes about because your hands get wet too often.  You can get fungus and skin breakdown.  I would recommend using a combination of lamisil cream and 1% hydrocortisone ointment at the end of your shift.   Try to dry your hands thoroughly as often as possible.  Can someone else clean the glasses after use?  Hope you get better soon!
