"I have dry and irritated hands. My hands are freezing, even in summer, and I have a lot of eczema on the back of my hand and wrist. To ease the discomfort, I rub my hands together, but it causes a very intense burning sensation. Is this normal?"

It is recommended to consult a doctor regarding any skin issues you may have, especially if you are experiencing eczema symptoms like dry and irritated skin. Using a good quality, fragrance-free moisturizer regularly can help with eczema symptoms, as well as using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream for any existing lesions. If these measures are not effective, it may be necessary to see a doctor for a prescription-strength cream. For dry lips, options like Cold Cream from Avène, Ceralip from Laroche Posay, or Nivea (fragrance-free) can be helpful. Avoid using oils for hydration as they may be too occlusive for the skin.
