Larimar

Mine too, on my fingertips and knuckles. I just hope the steroid ointment works before I have to stop using it. Dratted eczema!

Yeah, I have some of that too. I also have a cocoa butter stick- smells great and I think it helps (a little).

Corn Huskers Lotion. It's the opposite of natural, but the stuff works.

Vicks, or baby oil.

M.

Rubbing Vicks on our hands to kill the cement on our skin was the last thing we did each evening after finishing up a day's work laying bricks with my dad.  It definitely seemed to help.

Hope the eczema gets better, EPW and Larimar.  It's no fun.  I've got a tiny bit of it on my right hand now. 
And you will cry out on that day because of the king you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you on that day.

Another vote for Vicks. Cotton socks and gloves (EPW, I know you can't stand gloves, but try the thin cotton ones) will protect your sheets from the Vicks.

As a former gymnast, I've tried most of these remedies.

These work: Bag Balm, Corn Huskers Lotion, Working Hands/Feet, or Flexitol Heel Balm (with Horse Urine!!)
It's difficult to conclude what people really think when they reason from misinformation.

But I know him from regional workshops and clinics.

I'm very impressed by him, actually.

As with clowning, it's harder to do something wrong and make it look funny than it is to do something right.

One of the pairs in our OSU Skate Club used to do stuff like that.

Thanks for the suggestions. I may have to try the horse urine idea, Fishprof! :)

You can also use it for chapped lips.  Doesn't help the chapped lips, but it stops you from licking them!

My hands remind me of a snake in the process of shedding its skin.  They are turning into old leather work gloves.  You could light a match off my split knuckles.

The hand sanitizer on campus that I am addicted to does not help.
