2015/03/25 - still going great


Hands continue to be much better. Very little redness now compared to the past. Palms can still get itchy every do often, wearing cotton gloves helps a lot.
Skin a little dry, resisting use of moisturiser as much add possible, only after showering and maybe once more during day if itch gets bad.

2015/03/23 - no more asthma!


Went for a run today, didn't need my inhaler! No wheezing at all.
Looks like my asthma has gone!
Skin remaining in a good state as well.

2015/03/19 - doing well now.



Hands are doing really well now. Skin didn't start splitting open!
Hardly any redness. Skin is supple. Minor split on right hand palm but nothing compared to just a few weeks ago.
Confident that restricting moisturiser had been key to skin fixing itself.

2015/03/15 - moisturiser withdrawal - first signs of recovery



Skin came much better over past 3 days. Redness died off a lot, especially back of hands. spent Friday out in sun at cricket. Lots of swimming in pool and spar over past two days as well.
Palms have thin skin, think they might split again, have dramatically reduced moisturiser usage over past week or so, however.

2015/03/09 - very bad splitting, red fading

All split apart and very painful now and past few days. Backs of hands have been really good for a while now though! Redness had faded hugely.

2015/03/05 - splitting again


After getting back from Oz and enjoying a week+ of great skin on my hands, hands have started tightning up and splitting again (especially left hand, as always) :-( Must have been all that swimming in salt water that helped heal them?!
I started soaking my hands in Epsom salts last night.
