Q. I have very dry hands and lotions aren't helping. Please help. Angela

A.

I think that you might need a hand lotion that contains alpha hydroxy acids. It will remove the dead skin cells on the surface, while pampering the skin cells that are rising to the top. If you don't see an improvement, I would make an appointment with a dermatologist. You may be suffering from a condition called ichthyosis, a fancy term for VERY DRY HANDS. *And don't forget to keep your hands covered when out of doors. No running outside without gloves. Cold winds will zap any moisture left in your skin and you are right back where you started. Your hands are in need of some serious TLC. Unfortunately, most of the time we do the damage ourselves without realizing!
