dry palms

crying

i woke up this morning and i showered and everything and then i had a look at my palms… they’re really dry and its like the skin is peeling off. I’ve never had it before and have no idea what could have caused it.

They’re not even itchy.. just really dry…i dont understand what i could have done.. could it be due to dust or something? i was in the garage lastnight on my treadmill.. and i know it was pretty disgusting… i dunno :frowning:

Re: dry palms

Re: dry palms

Do you think your soap could be drying out your hands? Do you use a moisturizing soap?

Re: dry palms

I have... i put heaps on and now they're all dry again. it must be some allergic reaction

Mehnaz, ive always used the same soap... Dove and this has never happened before. The only thing i could think of is the dust on the treadmill.. hmm

Re: dry palms

Yeah, sounds like you are allergic to something. Get it checked out. Or try wearing some gloves when on the treadmill. See if there is any difference.

Re: dry palms

^ yeah i'll try.. I'll give it another day or two. I must be reacting to the dust in there. Dad has all these other things in the garage to, i may have touched something funny

Re: dry palms

Hmm. If it's not an allergic reaction or anything, just use vaseline or olive oil. My palms get like that when I clean without gloves but with vaseline, they're usually okay in a day or two. Hope they get better. Dry peeling skin sucks.

Re: dry palms

Thanks Sarah.. yeah, thats prob all it is. I just hate looking at them

Re: dry palms

Don't worry, it'll be okay in a few days.

Reminds me of feet, I can't understand why some people don't care if their feet are dry and cracked. It's so common in Pakistan to be walking behind a woman and you can see her cracked heels and calloused feet in fancy sandels.

Re: dry palms

hunni just wash your hands properly and use lotion.:smack:.. i hope it gets better :hug:

Re: dry palms

Sarah, i HATE cracked feet too. I usually moisturise my feet and wear socks to bed.

thanks Arsr

Re: dry palms

When ever you are going to sleep take a quick massaage of moisturizing lotion on your hand, in the morning when you awake they like very smooth and soft.

Re: dry palms

works for me : use hairstyling gel and rub some over palms..

Re: dry palms

hair gel on hands?? i m gonna go try!!
but sometimes dry skin depends on where you live too.
