My skin is dry and cracked?

31-year-old woman3 years ago
Hello! I burned 2 fingers with boiling water 5 months ago. It still hurts and the skin is more and more dry and cracked. It's worse when my fingers have been in water for a long time (washing dishes, shower, etc). Is there a product to help me relieve, but more importantly, repair? Thank you for your help!

Hello, thank you for your question!
To help your skin heal better, the most important thing is to moisturize. I suggest applying a fragrance-free moisturizer such as Cerave, Aveeno, Base Glaxal and others, often, and after every time your hands are washed or Purell is applied. This being said, favor the use of a fragrance-free soap, and avoid rubbing the skin too hard as you don't want to dry it out too much.
Finally, when doing household chores such as cleaning and washing dishes, I strongly suggest that you wear gloves.
I hope I've helped you, and I'm available if you have any other questions!
