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.

2015/02/24 - Feeling really good - summer holiday


Arrived in Oz on the 20th Feb. Starting going for some swims on the 22nd. Started using Aveeno moisturiser on the 20th as well when my hands swelled up and started splitting apart.
Amazing result, skin soft now, splits healing! Feel a lot better than the pictures show.

2015/02/16 - swollen, dry, splitting.



Bright red and very tender and sore last few days.
Here's some pics today, out of the shower, haven't put any moisturizer on yet.
Tight, dry, splitting, not as red as past days though:

Sore but think I can feel that I'm through a flare up.
