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

It is possible that your symptoms are a combination of several conditions, such as Raynaud's syndrome. However, I am not qualified to make a diagnosis, so I recommend that you see a doctor. To help manage your eczema, I suggest applying a good unscented moisturizer regularly, twice a day, and using low-to-moderate strength corticosteroid creams. I also recommend looking into moisturizers such as Cold Cream lip moisturizer from Avene, Ceralip from Laroche Posay, or Nivea (fragrance free).
