Chapped fingers

Hi does anyone know of anything that can help my OH suffers with ezcema and with the current cold weather his hands are badly chapped, so much so he can hardly bend them. Anyone any ideas apart from the obvious.

Thanks abers x

I used to suffer terribly with chapped hands especially in the cold weather & the skin on my fingers would crack & bleed so I sympathise with your OH. Someone told me about this site

The product, Gloves in a Bottle has made a dramatic improvement for me. I actually buy mine from a local garden centre stand & although its certainly not cheap, it lasts for months & months. The bottle I bought in May 2009 has just finished so it works out very economical. Shame we can't send each other a private message like other sites as I have a sample packet I could have posted to you. Do hope this info helps

My OH also has terrible problems with his fingers drying and splitting with the cold weather. He's been using Eucerin recently and has noticed a huge improvement. You can get it from Boots and I think they do some sort of bath oil or cream too.

thank you for your quick reply lthelewisgang, just checked out the link it sounds great, we will go and pick some up tomorrow! Will report back, once again thank you. x

really don't think your OH will be disappointed with it. I hated showing my hands when they were so dry, cracked & bleeding & have recommended it to lots of people since I discovered it. I noticed that Lloyds Pharmacy stock it & they seem to be everywhere so maybe you'll have one nearby. The site does say Asda stock it but my one doesn't. Good luck & I do hope it helps x
