Common Questions and Answers about Dry skin knuckles winter
skin
I can understand having this very dry skin in winter as did my own knuckles have this, but this summer the complete back of my hands have become so very dry and sore I have been using tubes of ointment from doctor none of which has helped at all.
I have bought E45 Bath which I add to my bath water also, I have never applied so much hand care to no avail.
Has anyone any suggestions that can help, it is not getting any better, just dryer.
I live in Southern California, which has a very dry climate. It gets especially bad in the winter. Every winter the skin on my hands, and especially knuckles, gets super dry and starts to crack, sometimes even bleed. I am usually able to control this by applying moisturizing cream to the affected area, but this winter it got really bad on the index finger knuckle on my right hand.
Every winter and spring since then, my hands develop a rash across my knuckles. The rash is very dry, scaly, and itchy. My hands will bleed and dirt will settle into the rash and the rash scars my hands. My fingers become flushed red. (The specialists I saw when I was 13 told me I have Raynauds). My finger joints hurt during this time. I also have hand tremors, but I don't know whether this is related. When I was 13 - 15, I was tested for all the autoimmune diseases.
On my right hand, each of the middle joints are cracked swollen and really red (also starting on my knuckles as well), and have bleed several times. I've tried to put some healing salve on it thinking it's just dry skin but it hasn't helped, and burns pretty bad. Even just getting that hand wet burns . I've tried my best to get a decent photo for a better description.
Hi,
The cold and dry weather during winter causes the skin to dry and this may lead to the itchiness. There may be no apparent rash associated with winter itch. I suggest that you apply a mild and bland cream to moisturize the area .This will help trap moisture and keep the skin supple. Irritant or xerotic eczema may be used interchangeably with winter itch.This type of eczema is due to repeated exposure to a drying or irritating agent.
This sounds like eczema. This is a skin disease that causes extremely itchy dry skin with scaling and sometimes blisters. The biggest thing you can do is moisturize. Diet plays a big role. since yours is seasonal that might not be a part of your problem. You need to keep moisture in your house and in your skin.
Hot water will dry out your skin more. A short cool bath with a mild unscented soap.
look up eczema there seems to be billions of people suffering with this horrible disease.
I have dry skin on the top of both my big toes on the knuckles, sometimes it appears brown or orange even when I get out of the shower (i have very light skin). I've had this for several months, maybe even a year or so. Anybody have any idea what this could be? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The reason people usually get itchy skin in the winter is because the weather is cold and dry. The dry air makes your skin dry out causing itchiness and abrasions. Make sure you are getting enough water. if your dehydrated the lips are really dry and chapped and you can do a simple test to see if you are dehydrated other than the lips. Pinch (NOT HARD) a little bit of skin on your hand or arm then let go, if the skin snaps right back then your ok.
Don't get coconut oil mixed with hemp. Buy pure fractionated coconut oil. Most health food stores have them.
I have this weird dry rash that is on top of my hands... my skin is cracking and there are little red bumps starting from the knuckles down. My knuckles are peeling a little bit and they look slightly blue like they are bruised. Oh and they itch Super bad.!! I scratch and now they started to bleed a little... I tried putting lotion and medicine on it but it ends up burning alot.! :c so I dont know if it has to do with my pregnancy or what but it hurts really bad... Im 27 weeks...
I would be sitting at my desk on the computer and then all of a sudden the top part of my hands as well as my knuckles become very dry and a stingy red rash develops. It doesnt occur after I eat because it has happened while Im hungry. I do use "Dial Antibacterial hand foaming soap with Moisturizer". Actually now that I think of it, its occurred after use but not right away. I guess I could experiment? What other possibilities could it be?
I moved from a very humid climate to a dry, colder climate/higher altitude this winter. Since moving here, we both have developed rashes throughout our body. Dry skin, kind of scaly but not quite, just noticible, red patches some no bigger than a dime some larger. They itch too. I have to assume that this is due to the climate change, but wonder what would be good treatment. I have tried a combination of a good moisturizer mixed with hydrocortisone cream with no luck.
I know this might sound ridiculous but I went to the sexual health clinic this morning for a routine check up. I have dry hands at the moment due to winter etc and thus a few cuts on my knuckles. None of the cuts I think were bleeding and I've had them for at least 3/4 days.
I had my bloods taken and rested my hand against the arm of the chair thus my cuts were on the surface of the chair. Not only that but my hands brushed against the nurses overalls a few times.
When i have an area thats itchy i put that on and it goes away and doesnt come back for a while. Its dry skin i believe thats causing your problem and in the winter everybodys skin get more dry so if you have sensative skin to begin with thatll happen. Even if it doesnt look dry try good lotion. I wouldnt use cheap or different scented stuff.
When winter hits and I get dry skin, anything with a high perfume/sent content will burn my skin...more sting...I use lotion for sensitive skin, such as Aveeno, the oatmeal one for sensitive skin. I really like Vaseline brand with shea butter. Also Dove for sensitive shin helps stop the dryness from starting.
