Well that's what my husband suggested as we surveyed my hands after cleaning the kitchen!
The kitchen looks great, but my hands are covered in plasters and I have resorted to wearing disposable gloves. I used to have severe eczema on my hands, which were covered in 'cuts'. Even as a child my hands looked liked old lady's hands much to my embarrassment. Now the rest of me is catching up! In my early 20s, my GP told me they would get better as I got older. What he didn't tell me is that the steroid ointments he was prescribing had a side effect. They thin your skin. I stopped using steroid ointments since my 30s once I realised what was happening. I stopped seeking help from the doctor as well. Although I haven't used these ointments for so long, the problem seems to be getting worse as I get older. I may knock my hands, often not registering that I have done so, and a chuck of skin is knocked out, then I will find blood dripping on what I am doing. Not painful like eczema, but annoying.
I'm not looking for advice! I doubt there is any to be given. Just venting my frustration! In fact, I think writing this down and sharing anonymously helps. There are much worse health problems out there.
