    After years of dealing with dry skin problems/dermatitis/psoriasis
    (approximately 15 now) I have found that no one particular thing
    works indefinitely. What I have found is that a number of things make
    a difference and those things that work need to be 'rotated'! The
    rules for me seem to be ABSOLTELY no soap....hand/body cleaners need
    to be soap free. If I am doing dishes etc. I must wear gloves. Latex
    free. Regular applicatios of Body Shop Hemp Hand Cream or Avon
    Moisture Therapy have worked better than years of cortisone creams
    prescribed by the doc. I alternate the hand creams about two monthly.
    If I use one, ongoing, it only works for about two months....... 

    I know the hell I have been through with cracked hands, weeping
    palms and fingertips with no real relief from the docs, but
    ultimately,, the above regime seems to work for me! 

    The amusing thing is that the docs suggest I give up working with
    metal?!?!? I mean, really!> Might as well cut my throat!!
