Skin Issues

[Guest]

Does anyone know if dry skin is caused by any vitamin deficiencies or candida? I have horribly dry hands to the point of where they're cracking. I put lotion on a lot, and it doesn't make a difference.

Don't know, but it can also be an oil deficiency, or the dry heat of central heat in the winter, or too hot baths/showers...

Carolyn,

 

My sister & husband both have crack finger tips. There are a few things that you can do.

 

Use a liquid bandage. You can get them at Walmart or any pharmarcy.

 

Use a hand protection sealant, "TheraSeal", it seals in moisture and seals out irritants. However, I see one of ingredients is aluminum magnesium hydroxide. I can give you the list of the ingredents if you are interested.

 

Or use a homeopathic remedy. I bought one at our local healthfood store. And it seems to help my husband pretty quickly. The first time he tried it, it went away the next day. I can't remember the name. It is in a small blue tube bottle, in tiny pellets form, make by Boiron. The remedy says " dry cracked finger ".

After applying cream, you may want to wear gloves at night time (when going to bed) too. Some pharmacies sell thin cotton gloves. Hope it gets better soon.

I have first hand experience with skin issues caused by alcohol. I would also consider a natural hand creme.
